## What it is
Workshop materials for 'Modern fuzzing of C/C++ Projects', teaching coverage-guided fuzzing with libFuzzer through hands-on examples like finding Heartbleed and other CVEs. The theoretical content remains valuable, though the practical exercises are dated and the author recommends the newer libFuzzer tutorial for hands-on work.

## Use cases
- learn coverage-guided fuzzing of C/C++ code
- understand how libFuzzer finds memory bugs
- reproduce the Heartbleed bug with a fuzzer
- get started writing fuzz targets for C libraries
- learn fuzz testing from scratch without prior experience

## When to choose
- you want a structured, example-driven introduction to fuzz testing concepts
- you need to understand how real CVEs like Heartbleed were found via fuzzing
- you prefer learning theory with historical practical walkthroughs

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date, working hands-on libFuzzer exercises - use the official libFuzzer tutorial instead
- you don't use Linux or want a turnkey modern toolchain
- you're looking for a maintained fuzzing tool rather than educational material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: fuzzing, security, testing, developer-tools
- domain: security, testing, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: cpp, cli
- tags: libfuzzer, coverage-guided-fuzzing, workshop, c-cpp, vulnerability-discovery, clang, llvm, linux
