# dosh fuzz targets
cargo-fuzz / libFuzzer harnesses for the `dosh` parsers and handshake verifiers
(spec milestone 5 / §16: "Fuzz packet parsing, authorized-key parsing,
known-host parsing, and handshake state", "Fuzz targets run in CI").
This is a **standalone crate** (its own `[workspace]`) so it never affects the
main crate's `cargo build` / `cargo test` / `cargo fmt --check`.
## Targets
| Target | Parser(s) exercised |
| --- | --- |
| `packet_decode` | `protocol::Header::parse`, `protocol::decode`, `protocol::decrypt_body` |
| `from_body` | `protocol::from_body::<T>` for every protocol & native wire struct |
| `authorized_keys` | `native::parse_authorized_keys`, `native::parse_ssh_ed25519_public_blob` |
| `known_hosts` | `native::parse_known_hosts`, `native::parse_host_public_key_line` |
| `handshake_structs` | handshake struct decode + `verify_server_hello`, `user_auth_transcript`, `verify_native_user_auth` |
| `attach_ticket` | `auth::open_attach_ticket`, `auth::verify_attach_ticket`, `auth::decode_bootstrap` |
Every target's objective is the same: **no panics on any input** (a panic on
untrusted bytes is a robustness/DoS bug per threat model §5).
## Prerequisites
```sh
rustup toolchain install nightly
cargo install cargo-fuzz
```
cargo-fuzz requires a nightly toolchain (it builds with `-Z sanitizer=address`).
## Run
From the repository root:
```sh
# Run all targets for a short smoke pass
make fuzz-smoke
# Run all targets for the pre-launch deep pass (default: 300s each)
make fuzz-deep
# List targets
cargo +nightly fuzz list --fuzz-dir fuzz
# Run a single target indefinitely
cargo +nightly fuzz run --fuzz-dir fuzz packet_decode
# Short, CI-style smoke run of one target (10 seconds)
cargo +nightly fuzz run --fuzz-dir fuzz packet_decode -- -max_total_time=10
```
Or from inside `fuzz/`:
```sh
cd fuzz
cargo +nightly fuzz run packet_decode -- -max_total_time=10
```
## CI
`.github/workflows/ci.yml` has a `fuzz-smoke` job that installs nightly +
cargo-fuzz and runs each target. Push/PR runs use a short 20-second-per-target
smoke pass. Weekly scheduled and manual workflow runs use a 300-second-per-target
deep pass by default. The job is tolerant if the toolchain/tooling is unavailable
so it never blocks the main test gate.
