Greybox fuzzing has achieved success in revealing bugs and vulnerabilities in programs. However, bit-level randomized mutation strategies have limited the fuzzer’s performance on structured data. Specialized fuzzers can handle specific structured data, but require additional efforts in grammar and suffer from low throughput. In this paper, we explore the potential of utilizing Large Language Models(LLMs) to enhance greybox fuzzing for structured data. We utilize the pre-trained knowledge of LLM about data conversion and format to generate new valid inputs. We further enhance the LLM on structured formats and mutation strategies by fine-tuning with paired mutation seeds. Our LLM-enhanced fuzzer, LLAMAFUZZ, integrates the power of LLM to understand and mutate structured data to fuzzing. Our experiments show that LLAMAFUZZ outperformed the state-of-the-art methods on all benchmarks, demonstrating its effectiveness in various scenarios.
