2nd & 3rd Seminar Sessions: Talk by Andreas / Basic Black-Box Fuzzing (2021/11/03 + 2021/11/10)
Written on 28.10.2021 17:19 by Dominic Steinhöfel
Hi all,
as discussed in our meeting today, our seminar will from now on regularly take place on Wednesday at 4:15 PM. The Zoom link will stay the same as for today's meeting.
Next week (Nov 3rd), Andreas will give a talk on how to give a talk, so we start a little meta ;)
The week after, at Nov 10th, we will have our first "regular" seminar session. The topic of that session is Basic Black-Box Fuzzing, in particular the seminal paper by Miller et al. I have already uploaded the paper, you should be able to access it in the materials section. If there are any problems with that, please let me know. Additionally, I added a link to the Fuzzing Book chapter about black-box fuzzing. I encourage you to have look at this chapter and to try things out yourself, it's worth it!
We would like to ask each of you to provide a short abstract / summary of this paper until latest Nov 9th. The length of the summary should be about half a page, and be no longer than one page (using some reasonable font settings). Please upload your summary using the CISPA CMS page as a PDF or text file; I just created a corresponding submission slot. If you are facing any problems with this, please also let me know.
We have already chosen the two presenters for the Nov 10th session, which are Philip and Kevin. I'm looking forward to their presentations! And yes, these will be two presentations on the very same paper ;) Each of these should take five minutes. As a reminder: Neither the summaries nor the short presentations will be graded! Notwithstanding, you should summarize papers for at least 8 out of 10 sessions, and give two short presentations.
If you have any other questions, concerns or ideas, just drop me a mail or use the forum.
Apart from that, I'm very much looking forward to an interesting (pro)seminar!
Best Regards,
Dominic
