Skills (15)

• address-sanitizer

  Builds and runs code under AddressSanitizer to catch buffer overflows, use-after-free, and other memory errors during fuzzing or tests. Covers -fsanitize=address builds, ASAN_OPTIONS, reading the crash report, LeakSanitizer, and the overhead and platform trade-offs. Use when fuzzing C/C++ or Rust th

• aflpp

  Sets up and runs AFL++ for multi-core fuzzing of C/C++ projects built with afl-clang-fast or afl-gcc-fast. Covers instrumentation modes, parallel main and secondary campaigns, persistent mode, corpus minimization, and crash triage. Use when scaling fuzzing across cores, fuzzing a mature C/C++ codeba

• atheris

  Sets up and runs Atheris, the coverage-guided Python fuzzer built on libFuzzer. Covers TestOneInput harnesses, FuzzedDataProvider, instrumenting both pure Python and native C extensions, and running under AddressSanitizer. Use when fuzzing a Python package, hunting memory corruption in a Python C ex

• cargo-fuzz

  Sets up and runs cargo-fuzz, the standard fuzzing tool for Cargo-based Rust projects. Covers cargo fuzz init, the nightly toolchain requirement, fuzz_target! harnesses, Arbitrary-derived structured inputs, sanitizer options, cargo fuzz coverage, and reproducing a crash artifact. Use when fuzzing a R

• constant-time-testing

  Measures timing side channels in cryptographic implementations by running them, using dudect for statistical analysis and Timecop over Valgrind for dynamic tracing. Covers the formal, symbolic, dynamic, and statistical tool categories and how to read a result. Use when testing whether a running impl

• coverage-analysis

  Measures and interprets what a fuzzing campaign actually reaches, using llvm-cov, lcov, or a fuzzer's own coverage output. Covers baselining a new campaign, reading coverage reports, and turning uncovered regions into harness, seed, or dictionary work. Use when a fuzzer plateaus, when judging whethe

• fuzzing-dictionary

  Builds and applies fuzzing dictionaries so a fuzzer can produce the keywords, magic bytes, and tokens a target expects. Covers extracting tokens from source, headers, binaries, and specifications, dictionary syntax, and wiring one into libFuzzer or AFL++. Use when fuzzing a parser, protocol, or file

• fuzzing-obstacles

  Patches past the barriers that stop a fuzzer making progress — checksum and hash verification, magic-value validation, time-based seeds, and other non-deterministic global state. Covers locating the blocking check, neutering it behind a fuzzing build flag, and avoiding the false positives a patch ca

• harness-writing

  Designs and improves fuzzing harnesses for C/C++ and Rust. Covers mapping raw bytes onto a target API, generating structured inputs, avoiding non-determinism and false crashes, and deciding what to fuzz together. Use when writing a first LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput or fuzz_target! harness, when a campaig

• libafl

  Builds custom fuzzers with LibAFL, the modular Rust fuzzing library. Covers composing observers, feedbacks, mutators, schedulers, and executors into a fuzzer for targets the standard tools do not fit. Use when writing a bespoke fuzzer or mutator, fuzzing a non-standard target or architecture, implem

• libfuzzer

  Sets up and runs libFuzzer, the coverage-guided fuzzer built into LLVM, on C/C++ code that compiles with Clang. Covers harness structure, -fsanitize=fuzzer builds, corpus and dictionary management, sanitizer integration, and campaign triage. Use when writing or debugging an LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput ha

• ossfuzz

  Enrolls a project in OSS-Fuzz, Google's free continuous fuzzing service for open source, and drives it locally. Covers project.yaml, Dockerfile and build.sh setup, the helper scripts, reproducing OSS-Fuzz crash reports, and the acceptance criteria. Use when setting up continuous fuzzing for an open-

• ruzzy

  Sets up and runs Ruzzy, Trail of Bits' coverage-guided Ruby fuzzer and the only production-ready one for the language. Covers harness structure, fuzzing pure Ruby and the native C extensions in gems, and sanitizer builds. Use when fuzzing a Ruby library or gem, testing a Ruby C extension for memory

• testing-handbook-generator

  Generates Claude Code skills from the Trail of Bits Testing Handbook (appsec.guide), analyzing handbook pages and emitting SKILL.md files with the structure each skill type requires. Use when creating or refreshing a skill from handbook content, or when the user names the testing handbook or appsec.

• wycheproof

  Validates cryptographic implementations against Project Wycheproof's test vectors, which encode known attacks and edge cases across AES, RSA, ECDSA, ECDH, and more. Covers loading test vectors, mapping result flags onto pass and fail expectations, and reading a failure. Use when testing a crypto imp
