They who can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety,
deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

due to the pandemic everything slowed down a bit and happens now from home ... but there are now the afl++ v3.0 and thc-ipv6 3.8 releases :-) Happy holidays!
july 2020
over the last year afl++ became the best fuzzer available - by independant assessments: Google's FuzzBench Fuzzer Benchmark Assessment from July 2020
I also participated in an academic paper that was accepted for the 14th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies: AFL++: Combining incremental steps of fuzzing research
march 2020
a lot has happend the last months, so here are the highlights:
my afl++ project attracted 3 talented security guys, and we are making the project so much better at such a fast pace - it is amazing! It is that good that is was selected to be in Google Summer of Code :-)
I am performing a training on fuzzing source code and binary programs at the Troopers conference
I wrote an article on the effectiveness of security static code analysis tools which is online now: heise developer: statische code analyse auf dem prüfstand (GERMAN)
june 2019
since afl is not being maintained since fall 2017 and i am collecting afl community patches for over a year i created an update afl++. increased performance in llvm and qemu mode, bug fixes and new featres. plus I added the enhanced performance from aflfast. in other words its the best afl out there :)

i just released version9.0 of hydra: new modules rdp, mongodb and memcached

the quality of my security servies are now certified by iso 9001:2015!

i wish everyone a happy new year!
2019 was already started enthusiastically by me - I made new releases of hydra and thc-ipv6 available, additionally afl-dyninst now supports dyninst 10!
that being said, I am currently getting my processes iso 9001 certified :)

happy holidays!

new things:
afl-dynamorio enables blackbox binary fuzzing with alf-fuzz through dynamorio
afl patches is a collection of patches for afl that improve performance, coverage, features - or fixes bugs.
additionally I improved the performance of afl-dyninst which is now by far the fastest guided fuzzer solution for blackbox binaries.

happy eastern! and I brought gifts:
afl-pin enables blackbox binary fuzzing with alf-fuzz through pintool
afl-simulate simulates afl-fuzz to benchmark performance of e.g. afl-pin, afl-dynamorio and afl-dyninst
additionally I am now the co-author of afl-dyninst :)

about 20 years ago I coded the proof-of-concept tool rwwwshell. today it can be seen used in the tv series mr.robot in season 2 episode 12 and season 3 episode 1 :)
i wish everyone happy holidays and a great new year!
