Module libafl::events

An EventManager manages all events that go to other instances of the fuzzer. The messages are commonly information about new Testcases as well as stats and other Events.

Modules

• centralized
  A wrapper manager to implement a main-secondary architecture with point-to-point channels
• launcher
  The Launcher launches multiple fuzzer instances in parallel. Thanks to it, we won’t need a for loop in a shell script…
• llmp
  LLMP-backed event manager for scalable multi-processed fuzzing
• pybind
  EventManager Python bindings
• simple
  A very simple event manager, that just supports log outputs, but no multiprocessing
• tcp
  TCP-backed event manager for scalable multi-processed fuzzing

Structs

• EventManagerId
  A per-fuzzer unique ID, usually starting with 0 and increasing by 1 in multiprocessed EventManagers, such as self::llmp::LlmpEventManager.
• NopEventManager
  An eventmgr for tests, and as placeholder if you really don’t need an event manager.
• ShutdownSignalData
  A signal handler for releasing StateRestore ShMem This struct holds a pointer to StateRestore and clean up the ShMem segment used by it.

Enums

• BrokerEventResult
  Indicate if an event worked or not
• CustomBufEventResult
  The result of a custom buf handler added using HasCustomBufHandlers::add_custom_buf_handler
• Event
  Events sent around in the library
• EventConfig
  Distinguish a fuzzer by its config
• LogSeverity
  The log event severity

Statics

• EVENTMGR_SIGHANDLER_STATE
  Check if ctrl-c is sent with this struct

Traits

• EventFirer
  EventFirer fire an event.
• EventManager
  EventManager is the main communications hub. For the “normal” multi-processed mode, you may want to look into LlmpRestartingEventManager
• EventProcessor
  EventProcessor process all the incoming messages
• EventRestarter
  Restartable trait
• HasCustomBufHandlers
  Supports custom buf handlers to handle CustomBuf events.
• HasEventManagerId
  The id of this EventManager. For multi processed EventManagers, each connected client should have a unique ids.
• ProgressReporter
  ProgressReporter report progress to the broker.
