Angora
A mutation-based coverage-guided fuzzer that increases branch coverage by solving path constraints without symbolic execution.
What is Angora?
Angora is a mutation-based coverage-guided fuzzer designed to automatically find software bugs by generating test inputs that increase branch coverage. It solves path constraints without symbolic execution, making it more efficient for exploring complex program states and uncovering vulnerabilities like crashes or memory errors.
Security researchers, software testers, and developers focused on improving software reliability through automated testing, particularly those working on binary analysis or vulnerability discovery in C/C++ programs.
Developers choose Angora for its efficient constraint-solving approach that avoids the performance pitfalls of symbolic execution, combined with taint tracking and dual-instrumentation for precise, scalable fuzzing campaigns.
Overview
Angora is a mutation-based fuzzer. The main goal of Angora is to increase branch coverage by solving path constraints without symbolic execution.
