Your contribution to something big

Fuzz testing is commonly applied to Posix or Windows executables in order to find bugs like, e.g., memory access errors. Current fuzzers are coverage-driven and can generate input based on a given grammar (or infer one from examples). An example of an open-source mutation based fuzzer is American Fuzzy Lop (AFL).
The task is to investigate adaptations, that are useful or necessary in order to apply available fuzzers to Autosar based automotive software.
Two setups are to be considered:
1) PC-based testing
2) on target fuzzing (with JTAG debug access)
Possible adaptations might concern the adequacy of instrumentation or the non-existence of Posix signals in Autosar. One approach to monitoring crashes on the target might be to break on the operating system's memory protection hook. The fuzzing examples should target interesting parts of Autosar base software (e.g., Can, TCP/IP, Secure OnBoard Communication, or certificate parser).
