Two research interns, Dongjia Zhang and Stratos, recently wrapped up their 3 months of work on fuzz testing for Bitcoin Core.
Under the guidance of Niklas Gögge, each conducted independent research & experimentation on Fuzzamoto.
Dongjia is a Ph.D. researcher specializing in software security and fuzzing, and is the maintainer of LibAFL, a popular fuzzing framework. His extensive background in fuzzing made him well suited to contribute to several of Fuzzamoto’s engineering and testing challenges.
Stratos is a vulnerability researcher and approached Bitcoin Core security from a systems and protocol security perspective.
Both engineers made meaningful contributions to Fuzzamoto. Their work extended protocol support, improved benchmarking infrastructure, scaled coverage analysis, and broadened target coverage for the testing platform.
