Abstract

As the most effective vulnerability discovering method, fuzzing testing has been widely used in the field of network protocol security detection and has given birth to a large number of research results. No work has been done to provide a comprehensive summary and analysis of protocol fuzzing testing techniques. Firstly, this paper reviewed the development of protocol fuzzing testing and summarized the work done by existing protocol fuzzing testing and its shortcomings according to its workflow: preprocessing, seed generation, execution process monitoring, and result analysis. After that, it analyzed the challenges of protocol fuzzing testing techniques in different scenarios and the solutions. Finally, it discussed the limitations of the current protocol testing methods and the future development directions.
