I’m happy to annouce we are offering our 2 day Peach training at ToorCon San Diego. This will be our first time presenting this training at ToorCon.

The training will be heald October 16th & 17th.

Peach @ ToorCon

I’m happy to annouce we are offering a new class at Blackhat Vegas this year focused on fuzzing embedded systems.

Overview

Fuzzing continues to be the fastest way to find security issues and test for bugs. Effective Hardware Fuzzing with Peach will introduce students to the fundamentals of device fuzzing. Peach was designed to fuzz any type of data consumer from servers to embedded devices. Researchers, corporations, and governments already use Peach to find vulnerabilities in hardware. This course will focus on using Peach to target embedded devices and collect information from the device in the event of a crash. Students that take this course will be able to interface or extend Peach to fuzz their own hardware platforms.

The course is designed to be student-centric, hands-on, and lab intensive. On day one you will learn to bridge the Peach Fuzzing Framework to target hardware. You will learn how to use Peach to fuzz the variety of targets, buses, and protocols an embedded device can present. On the second day you learn how to collect feedback from behind the silicon curtain and extend Peach to fit your custom hardware targets.

I’m happy to announce Peach 3.0 bits are now available for download. This marks the first stable release of the Peach 3 series of development, a full re-write of Peach.

In other news we are shutting down the Peach mailing list in favor of the Peach forums.

Peach 3 development and bugfixing has been going non-stop, so we are now posting nightly builds that pass our unittests for all platforms. The nightly builds are the recommended way to get the latest bug fixes and features.

Nightly Build Downloads

Peach 3 Release Candidate 1 has been released today. Peach 3 is now code complete and in active use. Peach 3 is a full re-write of Peach using the Microsoft.NET framework and Mono for cross-platform support. We have also moved to a new source control system GIT. Both the new GIT and older SVN repositories are both hosted on Source Forge.

Now that Peach 3 is near to release you will see this site change to be more Peach 3 centric.

I’m happy to announce that we will once again be offering the Peach training class @ CanSecWest! This is a two day hands on class during which you will learn how to use Peach to fuzz just about anything.

We have decided to move away from using a wiki to host our site and instead generate static content that we can manage from GIT and re-use in other formats. As such you may find a broken link or two. If so please report to the peach mailing list. Thanks!

In the coming weeks and months you will see this site change and become more Peach 3 centric. For now use the Peach 3 portion of the left side menu.

We are also going to move away from the Peach mailing list in favor of a forums site. This is to allow supporting multiple Peach versions (community & enterprise) and related features. It should also make accessing older information easier with integrated search.

For the several years I’ve had a Peach project on my todo list. I’ve always wanted to utilize Wireshark’s dissectors to create a man-in-the-middle (proxy) based fuzzer were the creation of a Peach pit was optional. !HotFuzz is an implementation of this idea by a group of students from Prague.

HotFuzz

We will once again be offering Peach training at Black Hat Vegas this summer. This is a two day course with a heavy focus on creating working smart fuzzers.

Course Information

Two releases in one month, crazy! This is mainly a bug fix release, but there are a couple improvements. First, a patch to support multiple Publishers has been added. You can now configure multiple Publishers per Test and reference them by name at the Action level in your state model. Second, I have improved the speed of fuzzing, at least for file fuzzing by improving the communication between Windows Debugger and the Publisher.

• New: Multiple Publishers are now supported by adding a "name" attribute to the <Publisher> element and a "publisher" attribute to <Action>.

• Changed: Improved Agent to Publisher communication, increasing fuzzing speed

• Changed: Improved osx.CrashReporter monitor. More reliable now.

• Bug: Fixed issue were Peach Validator would not always run analyzers

• Bug: Updated WireShark Analyzer to use <DataModel> instead of <Template>

• Bug: Fixed bug with ASCII strings containing char values over 127

• Bug: Fixed bug in <Choice> fast checking.

• Bug: Fixed minor issue with <Result> cracking (marked data as haveAll).

• Bug: Fixed two bugs in UdpListener

• Bug: StringMutator changed to set currentValue instead of finalValue. fixes bugs related to NULL termination or Unicode encodings.

• Bug: Windows Debugger module didn’t have CRLF line feeds causing notepad to display stacktrace wrong.

• Bug: Random freeze while calculating frames in stack trace

• Bug: Strings loose NULL termination when being mutated

I finally got cut the v2.3.5 build. This build has one of the longer change lists in the 2 series and should probably be called 2.4 :) A number of new features have been added, including beta support for OS X Crash Reporter instead of a debugger (see samples/DebuggerCrashReporter.xml). This release also includes a copy of the !exploitable, so it is no longer necessary to download it separately when you install windbg.

Also with this release, I have posted a cut of the source along with the binary installers.

• New: minset promoted to first tier tool, now compiled

• New: Action when attribute has a new method available, getXml() to allow for using xpaths in when expressions.
