Tmin fuzzing test case optimizer released
Tmin is a quick and simple tool to minimize the size and syntax of complex test cases in automated security testing.
The tool is somewhat related to delta, which is a more featured general purpose optimizer but is meant specifically for dealing with unknown or complex data formats (without the need to tokenize and re-serialize testcases), for hands-off detection of security fault conditions, and for easy integration with UI testing harnesses.
tmin is also capable of reducing the complexity of alphabets used on datasets that cannot be further trimmed down in size.
Below is an example run of tmin:
$ cat testcase.in
This is a lengthy and annoying hello world testcase.
$ cat testme.sh
#!/bin/bash
grep "el..*wo" || exit 0
exit 1
$ ../tmin -x ./testme.sh

[*] Stage 0: loading 'testcase.in' and validating fault condition...
[*] Stage 1: recursive truncation (round 1, input = 53/53)
[*] Stage 1: recursive truncation (round 2, input = 27/53)
[*] Stage 1: recursive truncation (round 3, input = 14/53)

[*] Stage 2: block skipping (round 2, input = 6/53)
[*] Stage 2: block skipping (round 3, input = 5/53)
[*] Stage 3: alphabet normalization (round 1, charset = 5/5)
[*] Stage 3: alphabet normalization (round 2, charset = 5/5)
[*] Stage 4: character normalization (round 1, characters = 4/5)
[*] All done - writing output to 'testcase.small'...
