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.

Only when security is treated with the same importance as quality can your software’s integrity drive a proactive strategy rather than a reactive response. In addition to ensuring software quality, development teams are under increasing pressure to address software security concerns. The high-profile data breaches that continuously arise are raising awareness of security issues. Because of this, customers, stakeholders, and boards of directors are asking questions of development teams that they never have before. Questions like:
