Résumé : Security remains at risk due to elusive software vulnerabilities, even with extensive fuzzing efforts. Coverage-guided fuzzers, focusing solely on code coverage, often fall short in discovering specific vulnerabilities. The proliferation of diverse fuzzing tools has fragmented the field, making it challenging to combine different fuzzing techniques, assess contributions accurately, and compare tools effectively. To address this, standardized baselines are needed to ensure equitable evaluations. AFL, due to its popularity, is often extended to implement new prototypes despite not being a naive baseline and its monolithic design. On the other hand, custom fuzzers written from scratch tend to reinvent solutions and often lack scalability on multicore systems. This thesis addresses these challenges with several contributions: A new feedback mechanism called InvsCov is introduced, which considers program variable relationships and code coverage. It refines program state approximation
