Understanding Fuzzing Internals

Thank you for participating in the Fuzzing Internals User Study.

We are a group of researchers from Secure Software Engineering lab at Paderborn University, working on understanding Fuzzing using its internal mechanisms. We are working with Fuzzing Internals, a tool that provides multiple synchronized visualizations (graphs) that aim at helping fuzzing practitioners in understanding fuzzing.

We invite fuzzing practitioners to participate in the user study and help shape the future of fuzzing developments. Participation is voluntary. Participants can withdraw at any time.
