Why not?
Would you accompany a movie recommendation with a piratebay link on HN?
It's standard practice in many, many online fora to accompany song recommendations with YouTube links.

#52My friend is working on some next gen fuzzing stuff here: https://github.com/2trill2spill/nextgen
Thanks for the shout out, But I'm the nextgen author If anyone has any questions, comments, bugs, whatever. The project was started because of frustrations with AFL and trinity. The "novel" feature at this point is using dtrace for instrumentation instead of a compiler plugin like AFL. This allows for instrumenting closed sourced applications without using qemu and non C/C++ applications. I have more planned for the future but I'm trying finish the core of nextgen, mainly the logging, interprocess communication, and concurrency model.

#53in general, have a poke around https://fuzzing.info/papers/ First, I think the next big step in fuzzing will actually be a complement to fuzzing - solving. AFL and friends can bitbang their way to massive code coverage, but can still fail on fairly simple testcases. Some recent research[1] by the authors of Angr[2] show that by pairing the brute-force coverage and exception discovery of a tool like AFL with constrain…
Why "infamous"?
I have no idea why I wrote that, bad wording.

#54Here you have some interesting work from Fabien Duchene, ENSIMAG/CEA researcher, about black-box genetic fuzzing (I know it sounds like a lot of buzzwords, and in fact it was a little bit mocked during SSTIC 2016, but it's some really good stuff !) http://hal.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/hal-00978844/ https://dl.acm.org.sci-hub.cc/citation.cfm?id=2557550&dl=ACM...
