Fuzzing is gaining massive popularity in the security community for one simple reason: fuzzing has proven itself to be very effective in discovering bugs and vulnerabilities in software systems. This course is a rigorous introduction to the subject. We will take you through fuzzing native systems as well as managed languages, show in-depth how fuzzing works and much more. This is a comprehensive course and at the end of the course you will be able to fuzz professionally across many targets.

LLVM is a collection of modules and software packages for program analysis and compiler technologies that is used to write security-aware compilers, sophisticated fuzzers, large-scale vulnerability discovery techniques, symbolic executors and much more. This course is centred around two core parts: the first part covers the internals of LLVM and how to write program analysis applications that use it, the second part introduces the student to several important open-source state-of-the-art security tools that use LLVM.
