A hands-on workshop and set of exercises for learning how to fuzz C programs with American Fuzzy Lop (and afl++), including challenges based on real vulnerabilities in popular open source projects. It includes a presentation, video walkthrough, Docker environment, and guided challenges with hints and answers.

Use cases

• learn how to fuzz with AFL
• practice writing fuzzing test harnesses
• rediscover real vulnerabilities like heartbleed through fuzzing
• get started with coverage-guided fuzzing in C
• set up a fuzzing environment with Docker
• learn persistent mode and ASAN fuzzing techniques

When to choose

• you want a structured, hands-on introduction to AFL/afl++ fuzzing
• you prefer learning by solving challenges based on real CVEs
• you have basic C and Linux command line experience
• you want hints and answers to guide you through fuzzing concepts

When to avoid

• you need a production fuzzing tool rather than training material
• you don't work with C or compiled targets
• you need Windows or macOS-native instructions (Linux is required)
• you want up-to-date content - the workshop was last revised around 2020-2022
