Improving Testing and Fuzz Development with Coverage Analysis. This time we’ll take a look at how to write better tests in the form of harness programs (also known as fuzz drivers, programs are written to exercise specific parts of the code) that we will use for fuzz testing. Did someone say fuzzy?

Modern DevOps permits high velocity development cycles resulting in weekly, daily, or even hourly software releases. PoCs are incredibly powerful as an exercise we do WITH our customers, rather than TO them.

These vulnerabilities arise due to the complexity of interactions between namespaces, a large number of historical decisions during kernel development, and leaky abstractions like the proc filesystem in Linux. This, in turn, allows processes to exercise certain privileges without having any privileges in the init user namespace.

Finally, once all the decision outcomes on the baseline path have been covered, apply the same approach to all subsequent paths until all the decision outcomes in the specified code have been exercised.

It’s also awkward, an exercise of the blindfolded people describing the pachyderm.
