Project Zero: Designing sockfuzzer, a network syscall fuzzer for XNU

Project Zero Thursday, April 22, 2021 Posted by Ned Williamson, Project Zero Introduction When I started my 20% project – an initiative where employees are allocated twenty-percent of their paid work time to pursue personal projects –  with Project Zero, I wanted to see if I could apply the techniques I had learned fuzzing Chrome to XNU, the kernel used in iOS and macOS. My interest was sparked after learning some prominent members of the iOS research community believed the kernel was “fuzzed to death,” and my understanding was that most of the top researchers used auditing for vulnerability research. This meant finding new bugs with fuzzing would be meaningful in demonstrating the value of implementing newer fuzzing techniques. In this project, I pursued a somewhat unusual approach to fuzz XNU networking in userland by converting it into a library, “booting” it in userspace and using my standard fuzzing workflow to discover vulnerabilities. Somewhat surprisingly, th
