dff-py 0.1.11

A simple differential fuzzing framework

DFF Python Implementation

A Python implementation of the DFF (Differential Fuzzing Framework) that uses Unix domain sockets and System V shared memory for high-performance IPC.

Installation

pip install dff-py

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or higher
• Linux or macOS

Linux

sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=104857600
sudo sysctl -w kernel.shmall=256000

macOS

sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=104857600
sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=256000

Usage

Example Client

import sys
import hashlib
from pathlib import Path

from dff import Client


def process_sha(method: str, inputs: list[bytes]) -> bytes:
    """Process function for SHA256 hashing.

    Args:
        method: The fuzzing method (should be "sha")
        inputs: List of byte arrays to hash

    Returns:
        SHA256 hash of the first input

    Raises:
        ValueError: If method is not "sha" or no inputs provided
    """
    if method != "sha":
        raise ValueError(f"Unknown method: {method}")

    if not inputs:
        raise ValueError("No inputs provided")

    return hashlib.sha256(inputs[0]).digest()


def main() -> None:
    """Main entry point."""
    client = Client("python", process_sha)

    try:
        client.connect()
        client.run()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("\nShutdown requested")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}", file=sys.stderr)
        sys.exit(1)
    finally:
        client.close()
