address-sanitizer

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers find critical memory corruption bugs like buffer overflows and use-after-free errors in C/C++ code during testing and fuzzing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Memory Error Detection: Identifies common memory safety violations.
• Fuzzing Integration: Works seamlessly with fuzzing tools like libFuzzer and AFL++.
• Use Case: When fuzzing a C library, use AddressSanitizer to automatically catch heap buffer overflows that could lead to security vulnerabilities.

Quick Start

Compile your C code with the AddressSanitizer enabled using the -fsanitize=address flag.
