On the Effectiveness of Mutational Grammar Fuzzing

Mutational grammar fuzzing is a fuzzing technique in which the fuzzer uses a predefined grammar that describes the structure of the samples. When a sample gets mutated, the mutations happen in such a way that any resulting samples still adhere to the grammar rules, thus the structure of the samples gets maintained by the mutation process. In case of coverage-guided grammar fuzzing, if the resulting sample (after the mutation) triggers previously unseen code coverage, this sample is saved to the
