Damn Vulnerable C Program

Twitter Follow

My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrHardik05/featured?view_as=subscriber

What it is?

This is a simple C program which I have coded to explain common types of vulnerabilities like:

  1. integer overflow
  2. integer underflow
  3. Out of bound Read
  4. Out of bound Write
  5. Double Free
  6. Use After Free
  7. Memory leaks
  8. Stack exhaustion
  9. Heap exhastion

This C program contains vulenrable code of all of the above vulnerabilities and you can fuzz it using any fuzzer like AFL, libafl, libfuzzer, hongfuzz, winafl, jackalope or any other fuzzer which you want.

How to Compile

Just type "make" on the command prompt. Makefile is included with it.

How to generate input for AFL?

just create a sample input file as following and rest AFL will take care:

echo "IMG" >input/1.txt

AFL will automatically generate new test cases and discover most of the vulnerabilities mentioned above. thats the beauty of AFL :)

How to fuzz it using AFL?

1. First compile this program using following command:

afl-gcc -g -fsanitize=address imgRead.c -o imgread

2. run this command:

afl-fuzz -i input -o output -m none -- ./imgRead @@

How to fuzz it using honggfuzz

1. First compile this program using following command:

hfuzz-gcc -g -fsanitize=address imgRead.c -o imgread

2. run this command:

hongfuzz -i input -- ./imgread ___FILE___

How to fuzz using libfuzzer

You need to modify the C code, you can get the updated code from here: https://github.com/hardik05/Damn_Vulnerable_C_Program/blob/master/imgRead_libfuzzer.c

1. Compile the program using following command:

clang -fsanitize=fuzzer,address,undefined -g imgRead_libfuzzer.c -o imgRead_libfuzzer

2. run this command to fuzz:

./imgRead_libfuzzer

sure, check here -> https://github.com/hardik05/winafl-harness

i want to try something different may be some different mutators than winafl default ones..

yep, you can try this -> https://github.com/hardik05/winafl-powermopt

more will be uploaded as i create them.

Why you created this?

It takes lot of time for new comers and even experianced people to understand different types of vulnerabilities. i have faced this problem myself and decided to share what i learned.

If you learn something from it, send me a thnak you note. thats all i need. Also if you want to improve of fix something then PR are welcomed!
