A new look! We have created a new version of The Fuzzing Book, based on #JupyterBook, bringing
* easier navigation
* dark mode
* search
* mobile layout
and lots of other features. Check it out at https://www.fuzzingbook.org/beta/html/index.html
Should we continue with this new look? Comments are welcome!
Just pushed out The Fuzzing Book 1.2.2. This release adds better support for recent Python versions.
To update to the latest and greatest, use
$ pip install —upgrade fuzzingbook

We have reworked the integration with the #mybinder platform, and you can now again interact with notebooks right in your browser (now using #JupyterLab instead of Jupyter Notebook).
As an example, here’s the notebook on fuzzing with grammars: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/uds-se/fuzzingbook/HEAD?labpath=docs%2Fnotebooks/Grammars.ipynb
You can access these from any chapter in https://www.fuzzingbook.org via “Resources” → “Edit as Notebook”. Enjoy!
In this chapter, we will make use of grammars and grammar-based testing to systematically generate program code – for instance, to test a compiler or an interpreter. Not very surprisingly, we use Python and the Python interpreter as our domain.We chose Python not only because the rest of the book is also based on Python.Most importantly, Python brings lots of built-in infrastructure we can leverage, especially parsers that convert Python code into an abstract syntax tree (AST) representation and unparsers that take an AST and convert it back into Python code.This allows us to leverage grammars that operate on ASTs rather than concrete syntax, greatly reducing complexity.Prerequisites You must read the chapter on Fuzzing with Grammars to understand how grammars and grammar-based testing work.
Just pushed out The Fuzzing Book 1.2.1. This release fixes a nasty bug that would accidentally set a fixed random seed when importing fuzzingbook classes.
To update to the latest and greatest, use
$ pip install --upgrade fuzzingbook
