Abstract
According to some examples, computer-implemented methods for branch coverage guided symbolic execution for hybrid fuzzing are described. An example computer-implemented method may include receiving a seed input of a binary program under analysis (BPUA) that is discovered during testing by a greybox fuzzer. The method may also include concretely executing the seed input in the BPUA, and collecting a trace resulting from the concrete execution of the seed input. The method may further include determining whether the concrete execution of the seed input discovers a new branch. The method may include, responsive to a determination that the concrete execution of the seed input discovers a new branch, updating a bitmap to indicate that the new branch is discovered, wherein the bitmap is utilized by the greybox fuzzer to maintain a record of discovered branches in BPUA, and providing the seed input to the greybox fuzzer.
