fuzzing-obstacles
From the author
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 can introduce. Use when a fuzzer is stuck at validation, when coverage shows large regions behind a checksum, or when valid inputs are impractical to generate.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- fuzzing-dictionarytrailofbits/skillsBuilds 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 format, when coverage stalls at input validation, or when a target compares against fixed strings.Planning★ 7.7K
- api-fuzzing-bug-bountyzebbern/claude-code-guideThis skill should be used when the user asks to "test API security", "fuzz APIs", "find IDOR vulnerabilities", "test REST API", "test GraphQL", "API penetration testing", "bug bounty API testing", or needs guidance on API security assessment techniques.Engineering★ 4.7K
- fp-checktrailofbits/skillsSystematically verifies suspected security bugs to eliminate false positives, producing a TRUE POSITIVE or FALSE POSITIVE verdict with documented evidence for each. Use when asked whether a specific finding is real, exploitable, or a false positive, or to verify or validate a suspected vulnerability — not for hunting or discovering new bugs.Security★ 7.7K
- harness-writingtrailofbits/skillsDesigns 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 campaign finds nothing or reports crashes that will not reproduce, or when the target API needs structured rather than raw input.Writing★ 7.7K
- offensive-fuzzingSnailSploit/Claude-RedPractical offensive fuzzing methodology covering target identification, fuzzer selection (AFL++, libFuzzer, Honggfuzz, Boofuzz, syzkaller), harness writing, corpus curation, mutation strategies, coverage measurement, and crash triage. Use when setting up or running fuzz campaigns against any target: file parsers, network protocols, kernel drivers, EDR engines, embedded firmware, or language runtimes.Writing★ 7.7K
- genotoxictrailofbits/skillsGraph-informed mutation testing triage. Parses codebases with Trailmark, runs mutation testing and necessist, then uses survived mutants, unnecessary test statements, and call graph data to identify false positives, missing test coverage, and fuzzing targets. Use when triaging survived mutants, analyzing mutation testing results, identifying test gaps, finding fuzzing targets from weak tests, running mutation frameworks (including circomvent and cairo-mutants), or using necessist.Testing★ 7.7K
