Dear Students,

We have published the results for project 1. You can find your results and your passing status on your Personal Status page.

We have decided to provide only the points because we could lose information for your final grade when grading the project which could result in a worse result for you.

You passed the project with 50 Points. Your fuzzer was evaluated with respect to the coverage on miniircd, its capability to find seeded bugs in miniircd, and how well the fuzzer generalized to two other IRC server implementations measured in the coverage it achieves.

For the grading, we have adjusted the weights for each part as follows:

  • 50% Coverage on miniircd.
  • 30% Bug finding capability.
  • 20% How well your fuzzer generalizes.

Besides, we have dropped the criterium that you need to achieve 50% in each part.

Hi everyone,

    www.fuzzingbook.org

We will continuously update chapters with videos, quizzes, and more before giving them out as reading assignments.

To install the code package, you can now simply use

    pip install fuzzingbook

to obtain version 1.0 (with support for and requiring Python 3.9).

This is the same code as already contained in the previous 1.0rc2 package, so if you already installed that one, there's nothing you need to do. Still, please let us know if you encounter any problems.

Dear all,

Thanks for attending today's lecture! This was our first hybrid lecture, and given all the things that could have gone wrong, we feel it went rather well :-) For those of you who could not attend, we have recorded the part with all the important announcements and questions:

We also have started adding videos to the chapters assigned to you for reading (this week: Introduction to Testing). As of now, you will find all chapters with videos on

which is the site we use for testing before things get moved to the "official" site at www.fuzzingbook.org. In a week from now, our tests for fuzzingbook 1.0 will be complete and from then on, both sites should be synchronized.

Our first exercise sheet will go out by tomorrow, letting you get acquainted with Python and Jupyter.

Enjoy the read!

Important information regarding face-to-face lectures and courses

Dear students,

welcome back on campus. Lectures and courses can be held again in presence. But whoever participates in such an event at the university must provide the 3G verification, which means either complete vaccination, recovery or a negative test (twice a week). Therefore, we ask you to read the following information carefully, because an official control can be expected at any time.

The 3G verification is done by using and truthfully stating it in the Staysio-App  . If you are unable to enroll yourself via smartphone, use this web form

[https://www.uni-saarland.de/fileadmin/upload/page/coronavirus/Alternativformular-Staysio.pdf]

It can be filled out and printed online beforehand and must be submitted to the instructor(s) prior to the event. It will then be kept for four weeks in accordance with our data protection declaration and then destroyed.

If you have a smartphone but cannot download the app

If you are unable to download the Staysio App, in particular due to a foreign account in the Playstore or Appstore, you can also use this web application: https://www.staysio.de/#/visitor

1.       Scan the posted QR code with a QR reader app that you have installed on your cell phone With modern devices, this function is often integrated directly into the camera. Open the linked website that is displayed to you

2.       In the opened page you are asked if you want to install the app or continue to the web registration. If you choose the web registration, you will be redirected to the registration form.

3.       Create your contact details and those of your accompanying person(s) once. The created contacts will be saved on your smartphone for future visits

4.       If all persons are registered, you can register all of them with the corresponding button. The logout is automatically performed overnight.

 Please constantly check the official information on the website of Saarland University

All the best,

Welcome to the "Security Testing" course! We very much look forward meeting you every Tuesday at 16:15 – either

In this first meeting (and we hope that many of you will join us in person!), we are going to introduce you to the organization of the course, and happily take and address all your questions. Note that the discussion meetings will not be recorded.

Here are some first steps for you to get started for the course:

  1. Check out the book: Go to The Fuzzing Book (beta version) and check out the first chapter "Introduction to Software Testing". We will update all chapters with introduction videos in the next days, so you can read and watch :-)
  2. Toy with the code: From any chapter, select "Resources → Edit as Notebook" in the top menu, and enter a Jupyter Notebook where you can interact with the code as you like.
  3. Get the program code: Follow the instructions on how to install the code and get started with Python. However, instead of "pip install fuzzingbook", however, please use
        $ pip install --extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ fuzzingbook==1.0rc2
    and you should get an all-new FuzzingBook 1.0 package that auto-installs all dependencies and is updated for Python 3.9.
    (We will release this package into the official pip channel in a week from now, so "pip install fuzzingbook" will get you the same as the above)

If you need help, we offer a Mattermost channel where you can find chat rooms for all sorts of questions regarding the course, exercises, and projects.

And of course, there always is the course page with all news and links:

Looking forward to work with you, and see you soon!
