After more than 1100 experts participated in FuzzCon Europe 2020 in September, the event has now been continued with an automotive edition. This edition was also very successful and more than 250 experts from the automotive industry were able to actively exchange their experiences. The FuzzCon - Automotive Edition was aimed at developers and IT security experts from the automotive industry who wanted to learn more about the latest trends in application security.
The security of automotive software is critical, not only because error-induced recalls are expensive, but also because the well-being of passengers depends on them. As the industry faces a major shift towards autonomous driving, security testing must also change - ideally in the direction of DevSecOps. The new ISO 21434 "Road Vehicles - Cybersecurity Engineering" in particular therefore expressly recommends the promising fuzzing technology.
Take a look at the event recording and find out how modern fuzzing improves secure software development in the automotive sector. Due to the current Covid-19 crisis we hosted the conference completely online and 100% free!
The event was hosted by Code Intelligence.
“Great talks and lots of interesting tools/techniques to follow up on. Great job organizers and speakers :-)."

In recent years, feedback-based fuzzing (or coverage-guided fuzzing) has experienced an unmatched success story. For example, over 27,000 bugs have been found in Chrome and several open-source projects and Google stated that it finds around 80% of its bugs with modern fuzzing techniques. However, fuzzing is not only reserved for big tech companies: It is gradually finding its way into the wide world.
Fuzzing is used for security and stability testing of the codebase. The application under test is fed with a series of inputs, which are smartly mutated in the testing process. The testing tool gets feedback about the code covered during the execution of inputs. Unlike traditional or black-box fuzzing, feedback-based fuzzing explores the program state efficiently and discovers bugs hidden deep in the code. If you want to learn more in detail about the underlying technology, we recommend you to read our blog post The Magic Behind Feedback-based Fuzzing. Or register to Fuzzing Academy!
As an extension of FuzzCon Europe we have created Fuzzing Academy. Fuzzing Academy has the vision to establish fuzzing as a software testing standard. To achieve this goal, we want to share our knowledge free of charge to reach as many people as possible. Join our efforts and become an expert for the test methods of tomorrow!
