This is the second of two articles that describe how to use the Defensics SDK in fuzzing Bitcoin. In the previous article, you saw how to set up a test bed for bitcoind. We created two containers, alice and bob, and were able to set up communication between the two bitcoind instances. In this article, you’ll learn how to create a data model for the Bitcoin network protocol, then use this model in the Defensics SDK to perform fuzzing on bitcoind.

This is the first of two articles that describe how to use the Defensics SDK to fuzz Bitcoin software. Specifically, you will learn how to model one of the Bitcoin protocol messages and use the Defensics SDK to perform fuzzing on the bitcoind process.

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of helping with the Security of Things event at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The purpose was to examine the security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices using Synopsys tools. The spirit of the event was a hackathon: let’s see what we can break in a couple of days!
