this requires the code to be fuzzed to be provided as a shared library, it
cannot be used to fuzz executables. Additionally, it requires the user to write
a small harness around their target code of interest.

## Compatibility
Currently FRIDA mode supports Linux and macOS targets on both x86/x64
architecture and aarch64. Later releases may add support for aarch32 and Windows
targets as well as embedded linux environments.

To build everything, run `make`. To build for x86, run `make 32`. Note that in
x86 bit mode, it is not necessary for afl-fuzz to be built for 32-bit. However,
the shared library for frida_mode must be since it is injected into the target
process.
Various tests can be found in subfolders within the `test/` directory. To use
these, first run `make` to build any dependencies. Then run `make qemu` or
`make frida` to run on either QEMU of FRIDA mode respectively. To run frida
tests in 32-bit mode, run `make ARCH=x86 frida`. When switching between
architectures it may be necessary to run `make clean` first for a given build
target to remove previously generated binaries for a different architecture.

## FASAN - FRIDA Address Sanitizer mode
FRIDA mode also supports FASAN. The design of this is actually quite simple and
very similar to that used when instrumenting applications compiled from source.
### Address Sanitizer Basics
### Address Sanitizer basics
When Address Sanitizer is used to instrument programs built from source, the
compiler first adds a dependency (`DT_NEEDED` entry) for the Address Sanitizer
dynamic shared object (DSO). This shared object contains the main logic for Address
Sanitizer, including setting and managing up the shadow memory. It also provides
replacement implementations for a number of functions in standard libraries.
dynamic shared object (DSO). This shared object contains the main logic for
Address Sanitizer, including setting and managing up the shadow memory. It also
provides replacement implementations for a number of functions in standard
libraries.
These replacements include things like `malloc` and `free` which allows for those
allocations to be marked in the shadow memory, but also a number of other fuctions.
Consider `memcpy` for example, this is instrumented to validate the paramters
(test the source and destination buffers against the shadow memory. This is much
easier than instrumenting those standard libraries since, first it would require
you to re-compile them and secondly it would mean that the instrumentation would
be applied at a more expensive granular level. Lastly, load-widening (typically
found in highy optimized code) can also make this instrumentation more difficult.

load-widening (typically found in highly optimized code) can also make this
instrumentation more difficult.
Since the DSO is loaded before all of the standard libraries (in fact it insists
on being first), the dynamic loader will use it to resolve imports from other
modules which depend on it.
### FASAN Implementation
### FASAN implementation
FASAN takes a similar approach. It requires the user to add the Address Sanitizer
DSO to the `AFL_PRELOAD` environment variable such that it is loaded into the target.
Again, it must be first in the list. This means that it is not necessary to
instrument the standard libraries to detect when an application has provided an
incorrect argument to `memcpy` for example. This avoids issues with load-widening
and should also mean a huge improvement in performance.

FASAN then adds instrumentation for any instrucutions which use memory operands and
then calls into the `__asan_loadN` and `__asan_storeN` functions provided by the DSO
to validate memory accesses against the shadow memory.

# Collisions
FRIDA mode has also introduced some improvements to reduce collisions in the map.
See [here](MapDensity.md) for details.
## Collisions
# OSX Library Fuzzing
An example of how to fuzz a dynamic library on OSX is included [here](test/osx-lib).
This requires the use of a simple test harness executable which will load the
library and call a target function within it. The dependent library can either
be loaded in using `dlopen` and `dlsym` in a function marked
`__attribute__((constructor()))` or the test harness can simply be linked
against it. It is important that the target library is loaded before execution
of `main`, since this is the point where FRIDA mode is initialized. Otherwise, it
will not be possible to configure coverage for the test library using
`AFL_FRIDA_INST_RANGES` or similar.
FRIDA mode has also introduced some improvements to reduce collisions in the
map. For details, see [MapDensity.md](MapDensity.md).

## OSX library fuzzing
An example of how to fuzz a dynamic library on OSX is included, see
[test/osx-lib](test/osx-lib). This requires the use of a simple test harness
executable which will load the library and call a target function within it. The
dependent library can either be loaded in using `dlopen` and `dlsym` in a
function marked `__attribute__((constructor()))` or the test harness can simply
be linked against it. It is important that the target library is loaded before
execution of `main`, since this is the point where FRIDA mode is initialized.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to configure coverage for the test library
using `AFL_FRIDA_INST_RANGES` or similar.

encounter problems with FRIDA mode.
## TODO
## To do
The next features to be added are Aarch32 support as well as looking at
potential performance improvements. The intention is to achieve feature parity with
QEMU mode in due course. Contributions are welcome, but please get in touch to
ensure that efforts are deconflicted.
