# Clixon fuzzing
This dir contains code for fuzzing clixon backend.
It requires the preeny package to change sockets to stdio.
Plugins do not work
## Prereqs
Preeny has a "desocketizing" module necessary to map stdio to the internal sockets that the backend uses. Install preeny example:
```
sudo apt install libini-config-dev # debian/ubuntu
sudo apt install libseccomp-dev # debian/ubuntu
git clone https://github.com/zardus/preeny.git
cd preeny
make
sudo cp x86_64-linux-gnu/desock.so /usr/local/lib/ # install
```
See [AFL docs](https://afl-1.readthedocs.io/en/latest) for installing afl.
On ubuntu this may be enough:
```
sudo apt install afl
```
You may have to change cpu frequency:
```
cd /sys/devices/system/cpu
echo performance | tee cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_governor
```
And possibly change core behaviour:
```
echo core >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
```
## Build
Make a modification to how Clixon sends internal messages in `include/clixon_custom.h`:
```
#define CLIXON_PROTO_PLAIN
```
(Note this is obsolete)
Build clixon statically with the afl-clang compiler:
```
CC=/usr/bin/afl-clang-fast LINKAGE=static ./configure --with-restconf=evhtp
make clean
make
sudo make install
```
## Run tests
Populate the input/ dir with input usecases, there are two examples already in this dir that can be modified.
Use the script `runfuzz.sh` to run one test:
```
./runfuzz.sh
```
After (or during) the test, investigate results in the output dir.
