GDBMiner: Mining Precise Input Grammars on (Almost) Any System

Authors: Max Eisele, Johannes Hägele, Christopher Huth, and Andreas Zeller

Published in: LITES, Volume 10, Issue 1 (2025). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 10, Issue 1

Abstract
If one knows the input language of the system to be tested, one can generate inputs in a very efficient manner. Grammar-based fuzzers, for instance, produce inputs that are syntactically valid by construction. They are thus much more likely to be accepted by the program under test and to reach code beyond the input parser. Grammar-based fuzzers, however, need a grammar in the first place. Grammar miners are set to extract such grammars from programs. However, current grammar mining tools place huge demands on the source code they are applied on, or are too imprecise, both preventing adoption in industrial practice. We present GDBMiner, a tool to mine input grammars for binaries and executables in any (compiled) programming language, on any operating system, using any processor architecture, even without source code. GDBMiner leverages the GNU debugger (GDB) to step through the program and determine which code locations access which input bytes, generalizing bytes accessed by the same location into grammar elements. GDBMiner is slow, but versatile - and precise: In our evaluation, GDBMiner produces grammars as precise as the (more demanding) Cmimid tool, while producing more precise grammars than the (less demanding) Arvada black-box approach. GDBMiner can be applied on any recursive descent parser that can be debugged via GDB and is available as open source.

Research Software Engineering: Bridging Knowledge Gaps (Dagstuhl Seminar 24161)

Authors: Stephan Druskat, Lars Grunske, Caroline Jay, and Daniel S. Katz

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4 (2024)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar "Research Software Engineering: Bridging Knowledge Gaps" (24161). The seminar brought together participants from the research software engineering and software engineering research communities, as well as experts in research software education and community building to identify knowledge gaps between the two communities, and start collaborations to overcome these gaps. Over the course of five days, participants engaged in learning about each others' work and collaborated in breakout groups on specific topics at the intersection between the two communities. Outputs from the working groups will be collected in a journal special issue and distributed via a dedicated website.

Abstract
Software is often a critical component of scientific research. It can be a component of the academic research methods used to produce research results, or it may itself be an academic research result. Software, however, has rarely been considered to be a citable artifact in its own right. With the advent of open-source software, artifact evaluation committees of conferences, and journals that include source code and running systems as part of the published artifacts, we foresee that software will increasingly be recognized as part of the academic process. The quality and sustainability of this software must be accounted for, both a prioro and a posteriori. The Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop on "Engineering Academic Software" has examined the strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities of academic software engineering. A key outcome of the workshop is this Dagstuhl Manifesto, serving as a roadmap towards future professional software engineering for software-based research instruments and other software produced and used in an academic context. The manifesto is expressed in terms of a series of actionable "pledges" that users and developers of academic research software can take as concrete steps towards improving the environment in which that software is produced.
