Announcing tab completion of interface names, prefix-lists, route-maps and BGP peer names
by Donald Sharp 15 May '17

15 May '17

All - We have pushed the ability for tab completion of interface names, prefix-lists, route-maps and BGP peer names into the master branch. For a quick demo of this feature watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sbgdZRJNJ0 I'd like to thank David for getting this feature into FRR. thanks! donald

Fuzz testing tools
by Christian Franke 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hello everyone, as I mentioned during yesterdays call when we discussed fuzz testing, I have made very positive experience with using AFL. [1] In contrast to more basic fuzzers, afl uses instrumentation on the code that is added at compile time. The instrumentation is used to more efficiently generate fuzz input that causes the use of new branches in the code. An example to that effect is that when fuzzing libjpeg and using an 'a' point for fuzzing, afl will quickly come up with various broken and valid jpeg files, something most simple fuzzers wouldn't. Also, afl can generate a minimized corpus of input files from the fuzzing process that still has the maximum branch coverage achieved during fuzzing, which is useful to test for regressions without running the complete fuzzing process again. I wrote a small tool called wuschl which wraps around afl and collects the minimized corpus to use it for regression testing. [2] To make use of wuschl one needs to install afl and wuschl and write one test function that passes its input to the function to be fuzzed. Having that, one can run fuzzing and then collect the minimal corpus. After that, regression tests based on the corpus can be run without any need for wuschl or afl. Just wanted to point out the existance of AFL and also wuschl since I think that they might be useful to implement fuzzing for FRR and get the test coverage up. -Christian [1] http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/ [2] https://github.com/cfra/wuschl
