Implements automated fuzz testing for Rust projects using the libFuzzer backend and Cargo integration.
cargo-fuzz is the essential fuzzing tool for the Rust ecosystem, providing a seamless interface to libFuzzer for discovering memory safety bugs, panics, and logic errors. It simplifies the fuzzing process by automatically handling compilation flags, integrating AddressSanitizer (ASan), and supporting structure-aware fuzzing through the arbitrary crate. This skill guides developers through initializing fuzz targets, writing efficient harnesses, managing seed corpora, and generating detailed coverage reports to ensure robust and secure Rust applications.
