?I wonder how you would feel and respond, as a reviewer, if you saw 3–4 papers submitted to the same conference that target the same problem from slightly different angles, with slightly varied problem statements, but ultimately use almost identical solutions (e.g., using LLMs as a magic wand)?

I think Atropos is built on the key ideas from Redqueen & kAFL/Nyx in which the "spec" is quite different from OpenAPI spec. Moreover, the way that TrailBlazer supports generation & mutation-based fuzzing is quite different too. Hopefully, they, along with other tools, give developers more options.

TrailBlazer infers OpenAPI spec and leverage the spec together with the captured traffic, which is *attached* to the inferred spec, to do both generation & mutation based fuzzing. Moreover, current version of TrailBlazer is black-box so it is not language dependent. Feedback guided is our next step.

🎉 Excited to share our paper "Trailblazer: Practical End-to-End Web API Fuzzing (Registered Report)" was accepted to the Fuzzing Workshop 2025! It's the final piece from Lianglu Pan's thesis, co-advised by @shaananc.bsky.social , @tobycmurray.bsky.social, and me. See you in Trondheim this June! 🇳🇴

This is the best explanation of agentic AI that I have ever seen. Simple but to the point. Highly recommended: youtu.be/O0GNrvO7wD0?...

We reflect on the 5-year impact of our protocol fuzzer #AFLNet on research & practice in this journal extension *just accepted* at the Transactions on Software Engineering.

futures.cs.utah.edu/papers/25ICS... by @snagycs.bsky.social and @gabriel-sherman.bsky.social Seems like a very sensible approach to harness generation with some impressive results. I'm looking forward to seeing more discussion about this approach :) (sorry for blatantly copying the twitter thing).
