Symbolic FAQs

Question 1

How is Symbolic different from traditional fuzzing or testing?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional fuzzing, which explores random paths, Symbolic performs path-sensitive analysis, mathematically exploring *all* execution paths to provide guarantees about code behavior and find precise inputs for specific issues, rather than just random ones.

Question 2

What is Symbolic and how does it find bugs?

Accepted Answer

Symbolic is a secure, sandboxed symbolic execution engine for Python that discovers edge cases and hidden bugs. It works by treating inputs as symbolic variables and exploring *all* possible execution paths algebraically using the Z3 solver to find precise trigger inputs.

Question 3

What security features does Symbolic offer for my code?

Accepted Answer

Symbolic is built with a defense-in-depth security architecture, including secure sandboxed execution, strict import filtering, resource limits, process isolation, and input validation, ensuring safe and isolated analysis of your Python code.

Question 4

What types of code issues can Symbolic help me discover?

Accepted Answer

Symbolic excels at finding inputs that cause specific exceptions (like ZeroDivisionError), identifying hidden vulnerabilities (e.g., authentication bypasses), verifying function contracts, checking semantic equivalence between functions, and detecting dead code or unreachable paths.

Question 5

Is Symbolic ready for production use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Symbolic is production-ready (v1.0.0 stable) with over 95% test coverage, optimized performance, and has successfully passed comprehensive security audits. It's designed for reliable integration into CI/CD pipelines and critical applications.
