Since no length checking seems to be performed on wFormatNo here, the fact that we cannot reproduce the bug must come from the condition above in the code. It can help the fuzzer identify bugs to which it would have otherwise been oblivious. This crash reveals the presence of a software bug that allows a developer to patch it or could possibly be used as part of an exploit. vulnerabilities in real products. Todo that, you have tocreate adictionary inthe format ="value". that you can read a new input file for each iteration as the input file is As a drawback, DynamoRIO will add some overhead, but execution speed will still be decent. 05:31. It was assigned CVE-2021-38665. Lets see ifits possible tofind afunction that does something toan already decrypted file. If nothing happens, download GitHub Desktop and try again. This time, we want to let WinAFL fuzz only the body part of the message. V. Pham, M. Bhme, and A. Roychoudhury, "AFLNET: a greybox fuzzer for network protocols," in Proceedings of . 2021-07-23 Microsoft started reviewing and reproducing. As I was fuzzing CLIPRDR, I often had a problem in which my virtual machine would eventually freeze, and I couldnt do anything but hard reboot it. All arguments are divided into three groups separated from each other by two dashes. I tried patching rdpcorets.dll to bypass this condition, but then I started getting new errors, so I gave up. From this bug, we learned a golden rule of fuzzing: that it is not only about crashes. Often you get results you dont know how to interpret, and the way you decide to react to them can greatly impact your findings and overall success. Nothing particularly shocking right away. Crashes from RDP fuzzer is often not reproducible. But it has the advantage of stopping coverage measurement at return. The freezing always happened at a random time since I was fuzzing in non-deterministic mode. If you arent familiar with this software testing technique, check our previous articles: Similar toAFL, WinAFL collects code coverage information. As mentioned, we will fuzz our target using WinAFL on Windows. There was a problem preparing your codespace, please try again. Too bad, custom_net_fuzzer works pretty slowly because it sends network requests toits target, andadditional time isspent ontheir processing. This option can be used to fuzz processes that cannot be directly launched by WinAFL, such as system services. Since some effects accumulate, you may try toincrease thefuzzing efficiency by reducing thenumber offuzz_iterations so that WinAFL will restart thetest program more often. The reason was that the client closes the channel as soon as the smallest thing goes wrong while handling an incoming PDU (length checking failure, unrecognized enum value). This will greatly help us develop a fuzzing harness. Check a simple harness here: https://github.com/googleprojectzero/Jackalope/blob/6d92931b2cf614699e2a023254d5ee7e20f6e34b/test.cpp#L41 Having the module and offset is already of a huge help in understanding crashes though: start reversing the client where it crashed and work your way backwards. This project is We took one of the most common Windows fuzzing frameworks, WinAFL, and aimed it at Adobe Reader, which is one of the most popular software products in the world. -target_offset from -target_method). They can add functional enhancements to an RDP session. Close the input file. Using theVisual Studio command line, go tothe folder with WinAFL source code. To enable this option, you need to specify -l argument. What is coverage-guided fuzzing ? You can easily bypass this protection by connecting to 127.0.0.2, which is equivalent. No luck. It is opened by default. This is accomplished by selecting a target function (that the The list ofarguments taken by this function resembles what you have already seen before. WinAFL has been successfully used to identify bugs in Windows software, such as the following: If you are building with DynamoRIO support, download and build For example, we could say were specifically targeting Server Audio Formats and Version PDUs in RDPSND (SERVER_AUDIO_VERSION_AND_FORMATS, msgType 0x07). Moving up thecall stack, I locate thevery first function that takes thepath tothe test file as input. But it is very easy to let yourself get discouraged at seeing you havent had any result in weeks. Since the seeds include the header, the fuzzer will also mutate it, including the msgType field. In the Blackhat talk, the authors said they used two virtual machines: one for the client, and one for the server. to use Codespaces. On the other hand, as we said, we cant perform fixed message type fuzzing either at all because of state verification. After setting thebreakpoints, I continue executing theprogram andsee how it makes thefirst call toCreateFileA. fuzzing mode, that is, executing multiple input samples without restarting the We have to be extra careful with patches though, because they can modify the clients behavior. In Windows 10, there are two main files of interest for the RDP client: C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe and C:\Windows\System32\mstscax.dll. But inreal life, developers often forget toadd such perfect functions totheir programs, andyou have todeal with what you have. During my internship at Thalium, I spent time studying and reverse engineering Microsoft RDP, learning about fuzzing, and looking for vulnerabilities. Here are the results after just three days of fuzzing: Here are the results after just three days of fuzzing: roving (Richo Healey) Distfuzz-AFL (Martijn Bogaard) AFLDFF (quantumvm) afl-launch (Ben Nagy) AFL Utils (rc0r) AFL crash analyzer (floyd) afl-extras (fekir) afl-fuzzing-scripts (Tobias Ospelt) afl-sid (Jacek Wielemborek) afl-monitor . Such aset offiles can besubsequently minimized using the[winafl-cmin.py](http://winafl-cmin.py) script available inthe WinAFL repository. You cannot tell WinAFL to have constraints on your mutations, such as these two bytes should reflect the length of this buffer. Your target runs normally until your target function is reached. I didnt talk about these because theyre not about the Microsoft client, theyre not the most interesting and the article is getting really long either way, but feel free to look them up: /* We don't need to reload context in case of network-based fuzzing. There is an important metric in AFL related to coverage: the stability metric. The command line for afl-fuzz on Windows is different than on Linux. Lighthouse is an IDA plugin to visualize code coverage. But you still need to make the client allocate enough memory to reach death by swap. WinAFL is a Windows fork of the popular mutational fuzzing tool AFL. Since were fuzzing a network client, we want our harness to act like a server that sends mutations to the client over the network. RDPSND Server Audio Formats PDU structure (haven't we already met before?). Init, WinAFL will refuse tofuzz even ifeverything works fine: it will claim that thetarget program has crashed by timeout. // Fetch the audio format of index wFormatNo, // MajorFunction (Device Control Request), Fuzzing Microsofts RDP Client using Virtual Channels: Overview & Methodology, Remote ASLR Leak in Microsofts RDP Client through Printer Cache Registry (CVE-2021-38665), Remote Deserialization Bug in Microsofts RDP Client through Smart Card Extension (CVE-2021-38666), Why search for vulnerabilities in the RDP, Fuzzing the RDP client with WinAFL: setup and architecture, Deserialization Bug / Heap Corruption in RDPDR, conference talk from Blackhat Europe 2019, Fuzzing RDP: Holding the Stick at Both Ends, Filesystem redirection, printers, smart cards. . In this case, there may be a higher chance that the crash we found originates from a stateful bug, and which statefulness can be increasingly complex. This takes plenty oftime, andyou can help theprogram alot inthis: who knows thedata format inyour program better than you? see googleprojectzero/winafl#145. more basic blocks than WinAFL, the state-of-the-art fuzzer on Windows. modes with WinAFL: Before using WinAFL for the first time, you should read the documentation for If you haven't played around with WinAFL, it's a massive fuzzer created by Ivan Fratric based on the lcumtuf's AFL which uses DynamoRIO to measure code coverage and the Windows API for memory and process creation. This needs to happen within the target function so Todo so, add the-debug parameter tothe arguments ofthe instrumentation library. Fuzzing feeds nonstandard data (either executable code, a dynamic library, or a driver) to a computer program in an attempt to cause a failure. 3.2 Setting up WinAFL for network fuzzing By default, WinAFL writes mutations to a le that should be passed as an argument to the target binary. 2021-07-31 Microsoft acknowledged the RDPDR deserialization bug and started developing a fix. In this method, we directly deliver sample into process memory. Official, documented Virtual Channels by Microsoft come by dozens: Non-exhaustive list of *Virtual Channels* documented by Microsoft, found in the FreeRDP wiki. If the array is not big enough when trying to access a certain index, then it is reallocated with sufficient size. It is a Device I/O Request PDU (0x4952) of sub-type Device Control Request (0x000e). In-memory fuzzing implementation not only restores register context, but also writes fuzzing input at the process memory pointing PDU buffer. Based onthe contents ofthe test file, it iscompressed, orencrypted, orencoded insome way. WinAFL can recover thesyntax ofthe targets data format (e.g. Also, you can use In App Persistence mode described above if your application runs the target function in a loop by its own. The function that calls CFile::Open turns out tobe very similar tothe previous one. drAFL: AFL + DynamoRIO = fuzzing binaries with no source code on Linux (spare time) https://github.com/mxmssh/drAFL Contributions: drltrace, winAFL, DynamoRIO, DrMemory, Ponce PhD on vulnerability research in machine code Speaker: 3 Outline I. DRDYNVC is really banned from being opened through the WTS API! rewritten between target function runs. Send n > 1 formats to the client through a Format PDU. When fuzzer first reaches target function, DynamoRIO saves register state. The environment variable AFL_CUSTOM_DLL_ARGS= should be used for this purpose. WinAFL managed to find a sequence of PDUs which bypasses a certain condition to trigger a crash and we could have very well overlooked it if we were manually searching for a vulnerability. Dumped example is as follows. In this first installment, I set up a methodology for fuzzing Virtual Channels using WinAFL and share some of my findings. There are several options supported by this DLL that should be provided via the environment variable AFL_CUSTOM_DLL_ARGS: For example, if your application receives network packets via UDP protocol at port 7714 you should set up the environment variable in the following way: set AFL_CUSTOM_DLL_ARGS=-U -p 7714 -a 127.0.0.1 -w 1000. We have just talked about how DynamoRIO monitors code coverage; it starts monitoring it when entering the target function, and stops on return. The greater isthe code coverage, thehigher isthe chance tofind abug. Last but not least about execution of the RDP client while fuzzing. I suppose that this isbecause theprogram was built statically, andsome library functions adversely affect thestability. Since I am just looking for afunction tofuzz, I have tokeep inmind that it must take thepath tothe input file, do something with this file, andterminate as neatly as possible. By replaying the whole history, you may hope the client behaves in a deterministic enough way that it reproduces the crash. Example with RDPSND: a message comprises a header (SNDPROLOG) followed by a body. For instance, in the CLIPRDR channel, messages are asynchronously dispatched to their handlers, and we dont want to break thread coverage. In practice, this . Perhaps multithreading affects it, too. Attempt at RDP loopback connection. the target binary. Indeed, each PDU sub-handler (logic for a certain message type) calls the CheckClipboardStateTable function prior to anything else. In the Blackhat talk, the research was driven by the fact that North Korean hackers would alledgely carry out attacks through RDP servers acting as proxies. This isgood because its always preferable tofuzz uncompressed files: thecode coverage ismuch better andthe chance todiscover more interesting features ishigher. There are many DVCs. CLIPRDR is a static virtual channel dedicated to synchronization of the clipboard between the server and the client. If you try to reproduce the crash and it doesnt work, its probably because its actually rather a sequence of PDUs that made the client crash, and not just a single PDU. Preeny (Yan Shoshitaishvili) Distributed fuzzing and related automation. Now lets do some fuzzing! The client will try to allocate too much at once, and malloc will return ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY. WinAFL includes the windows port of afl-cmin in winafl-cmin.py. Virtual Channels operate on the MCS layer. I had struggle investigating it by debugging because I didnt know anything about RPC. Fuzzing is a battle against the binary, but it is also a battle against yourself. Here, I simply instrumented winafl to target my harness (RasEntries.exe) and for coverage use the RASAPI32.dll DLL. Then, I will talk about my setup with WinAFL and fuzzing methodology. When target function returns, DynamoRIO sets instruction pointer and register state to the saved state. The key question is: are we satisfied with our fuzzing? RDP protocol stack from Explain Like I'm 5: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) . More generally, it seems adapted to cases like fuzzing an interpreter or a network listener, which already loop on reading input or receiving packets. DRDYNVC is a Static Virtual Channel dedicated to the support of dynamic virtual channels. not closed WinAFL won't be able to rewrite it. However, if there is only the binary program and no source code available, then standard afl-fuzz -n (non-instrumented mode) is not effective. However, we found this option very useful and managed to find several vulnerabilities in network-based applications (e.g. This leads to a malloc of size 8 \times (32 + \text{clipDataId}), which means at maximum a little more than 32 GB. Another obvious type of edge case is crashes. I feel like attitude plays a great role in fuzzing. 2021-07-30 Microsoft assessed the CLIPRDR malloc DoS bug as low-severity and closed the case. This is a case of stateful bug in which a sequence of PDUs crashed the client, and we only know the last PDU. If a program always behaves the same for the same input data, it will earn a score of 100%. Indeed, when fuzzing, you dont want to kill and start your target again every execution. ClassName::OnDataReceived(ClassName *this, unsigned int pduLength, unsigned __int8 *pdu). Do we really need that? In case of server fuzzing, if the server socket has the SO_REUSEADDR option set like the following code, then this may case 10055 error after some time fuzzing due to the accumulation of TIME_WAIT sockets when WinAFL restart the fuzzing process. This method brings two advantages. Our harness, the VC Server, can do much more than just echo mutations. I switch tothe Call Stack tab andsee that CreateFileA iscalled not from thetest program, but from theCFile::Open function inthe mfc42 library. Thetarget function must: Precompiled binaries are available inthe WinAFL repository onGitHub, but for some reason, they refuse towork onmy computer. It shows how much thecode coverage map changes from iteration toiteration. As soon as something happens out-of-bounds, the client will then crash. However, it still accounts for a remote system-wide denial of service for target clients with around 4 GB of RAM on their system. It was assigned CVE-2021-38666. If you plot the number of paths found over time, you will usually get something rather logarithmic that can look like this (this was not plotted from my fuzzing, this only serves as an illustration). Network pentesting at the data link layer, Spying penguin. The second one needs a bit more effort to setup, but allows to go more in depth in each message types logic. In parallel, in August 2021, researchers from CyberArk have published some work they have conducted on fuzzing RDP (Fuzzing RDP: Holding the Stick at Both Ends). You are not able to reproduce the crash manually. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. Type the following commands. The PDU sub-handling logic is therefore run in a different thread. Fuzzing is the generalized process of feeding random inputs to an executable program in order to create a crash. The crash happened upon receipt of a Wave2 PDU (0x0D), at CRdpAudioController::OnWaveData+0x27D. Of course, many crashes can still happen at the first depth level. winafl.dll DynamoRIO client, -DINTELPT=1 - Enable Intel PT mode. Skimming through the functions, we can try to assess whether were satisfied or not with the coverage. While writing a PoC, I noticed something interesting. [] If it goes into red, you may be in trouble, since AFL will have difficulty discerning between meaningful and phantom effects of tweaking the input file. Finally, I will present some results I achieved, including bugs and vulnerabilities. The following cmake configuration options are supported: -DDynamoRIO_DIR=..\path\to\DynamoRIO\cmake - Needed to build the It is also home to Martas and . The dll_mutate_testcase_with_energy function is additionally provided an energy value that is equivalent to the number of iterations expected to run in the havoc stage without deterministic mutations. As said above, thefunction selected for fuzzing shouldnt have side effects. source directory). If you havent already, check it out now (or after having finished reading this article)! []. Lets examine themost important ofthem inorder. Each individual Virtual Channel behaves according to its own separate logic, specification and protocol. AFL/WinAFL work by continously sending and mutating inputs to the target program, to make it behave unexpectedly (and hopefully crash). Writing a channel-specific wrapper in the VC Server to reconstruct and add the header before sending the PDU to the client. Anda dictionary will help you inthat. to send test cases over network). I copy thereturn address from CFile::Open (125ACBB0), follow it inIDA, look atthe function, andimmediately see that it takes two arguments that are subsequently used as arguments intwo CFile::Open calls. Two new ways to hide processes from antiviruses, SIGMAlarity jump. This is a critical fact we must take into account for when we are fuzzing later! Then, if the iteration produced a new path, afl-fuzz will save the log into a file. the target process is killed and restarted. Cyber attack scenario, Network Security. Reverse engineering will focus on the latter, as it holds most of the RDP logic. -H option in the previous section is used to trigger target function for the first time when performing in-memory fuzzing. It uses thedetected syntax units togenerate new cases for fuzzing. Mutations are repeatedly performed on samples which must initially come from what we call a corpus. 2021-08-26 Microsoft assessed the RDPDR malloc DoS bug as low-severity and closed the case. This video contain:1. WinAFL is a Windows fork of the popular mutational fuzzing tool AFL. For more info about the original project, please refer to the original documentation at: in Kollective Kontiki listed above). WinAFL supports delivering samples via shared memory (as opposed to via a file, which is the default). This means we cant use the -thread_coverage option anymore if we target DispatchPdu So we cant perform mixed message type fuzzing with reliable coverage anymore. All aspects ofWinAFL operation are described inthe official documentation, but its practical use from downloading tosuccessful fuzzing andfirst crashes isnot that simple. However, due to the difficulties of obtaining dynamic execution information of IoT devices and the inherent depth of fuzzing tests, the current popular feedback-driven fuzzing technology is difficult . We can find a description of this function in an older RDP reference page: This function closes the client end of a virtual channel. In this case, modifying the harness to prevent the client from crashing is a good idea. As a result, real bugs in the RDP client will only constitute a subset of the bugs we will find with the patched DLL. I was able to isolate the malicious PDU and reproduce the bug with a minimal case: It is a Lock Clipboard Data PDU (0x000A), which basically only contains a clipDataId field. If its not in the correct state, it just drops the message and does not do anything. After reaching target funcion once, WinAFL will force persistent loop. WinAFL will attach to the target process, and fuzz it normally. This helps insituations when you make amistake, andthese functions are called not by themain executable module (.exe), but, for instance, by some ofyour target libraries. Ifyou intent tofuzz parsers ofsome well-known file formats, Google can help you alot. This implies a lot; we will talk about this. Fuzzing should entirely happen without human intervention. so that the execution jumps back to step 2. I modified my VC Server to integrate a slow mode. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. The DLL should export the following two functions: We have implemented two sample DLLs for network-based applications fuzzing that you can customize for your own purposes. This function tracks and ensures the client is in the correct state to process the PDU. WTSVirtualChannelOpenEx(WTS_CURRENT_SESSION. Automating vulnerability management, Ruffling thepenguin! But fuzzing the RDP client, I often got speeds between 50 and 1000 execs/s. Inthis case, youll have touse custom_net_fuzzer.dll from WinAFL orwrite your own wrapper. Windows post-exploitation with a Linux-based VM, Software for cracking software. You need to implement dll_mutate_testcase or dll_mutate_testcase_with_energy in your DLL and provide the DLL path to WinAFL via -l argument. If you are using shared memory for sample delivery then you need to make sure that in your harness you specifically read data from shared memory instead of file. Learn more. The answer lies in the Server Audio Formats and Version PDU. When restoring register context, we patched WinAFL pre-fuzz handler to write fuzzing input at the memory pointed by 3rd argument register, and set 2nd argument register to length of fuzzing input. Fortunately, WinAFL can beeasily compiled onany machine. More specifically, the I/O Request handler, DrDevice::ProcessIORequest, dispatches the PDU to a Smart Card sub-protocol handler (W32SCard::MsgIrpDeviceControl). It also sets length argument to length of fuzzing input. To achieve that, I used frida-drcov.py from Lighthouse. Tofind out whats theproblem, you can manually emulate thefuzzers operation. Fuzzing is gambling. Description is as follows. If nothing happens, download Xcode and try again. WTSVirtualChannelWrite(virtual_channel, buffer, length, "Exception Address: %016llx / %016llx (unknown module), "Exception Address: %016llx / %016llx (%s). RDPDR is a Static Virtual Channel dedicated to redirecting access from the server to the client file system. In laymans terms: imagine WinAFL finds a crash and saves the corresponding mutation. This is understandable: for instance, a denial of service constitutes a much higher risk for a server than for a client. Sending fuzzer input to server agent involves socket communication, and it is implemented at write_to_testcase@afl-fuzz.c. Introduction In this blog post, I'll write about how I tried to fuzz the MSXML library using the WinAFL fuzzer. Therefore, for each new path, we have a corresponding basic block trace log. it takes thefile path as acommand line argument; and. CLIPRDR state machine diagram from the specification. WinAFL invokes the custom mutator before all the built-in mutations, and the custom mutator can skip all the built-in mutations by returning a non-zero value. We could look at code coverage for a certain fuzzing campaign, and judge whether we are satisfied with it or not. Indeed, any vulnerability found in these will directly impact most RDP clients. Theexecution must reach thepoint ofreturn from thefunction chosen for fuzzing. But should we really just start fuzzing naively with the seeds weve gathered from the specification? The proportion of blocks hit in each audio function is a good indicator of quality. Otherwise, WinAFL would instrument numerous library functions. I wait until thefunction execution iscompleted andsee that my test file isstill encrypted, while thetemporary file isstill empty. RDPSND PDU handler and dispatch logic in mstscax.dll. Fuzzing process with WinAFL in "no-loop" mode. . WinAFL is a fork of the renowned AFL fuzzer developed to fuzz closed-source programs on Windows systems. I debugged the TermService svchost process and stepped until ending up inside rdpcorets.dll. We need to find a way to skip this condition to trigger the bug. Please run the As mentioned, analyzing a crash can range from easy to nearly impossible. Here are some that are provided by Microsoft: In conclusion, both types of Virtual Channels are great targets for fuzzing. When using WinAFL with DynamoRIO, there are several persistence modes available for us to choose from: In-app persistence seems the most adapted to our case. They also started reviewing this case for a potential bounty award. A drawback of this strategy is that crash analysis becomes more difficult. Open the input file. You can use these tags: more basic blocks than WinAFL, the state-of-the-art fuzzer on Windows. Use Git or checkout with SVN using the web URL. This is an interesting approach because sending a sequence of PDUs of different types in a certain order can help the client enter a state in which a bug will be triggered. WinAFL reports coverage, rewrites the input file and patches EIP There is no guarantee whatsoever you will be able to reproduce the crash with this mutation only. 56 0. It was found within a few minutes of fuzzing. Besides, each channel is architectured in a different fashion; there is rarely a common code structure or even naming convention between two channels implementation. The custom mutator should invoke common_fuzz_stuff to run and make WinAFL aware of each new test case. It has been successfully used to find a large number of vulnerabilities in real products. For general program, SpotFuzzer provides general fuzzing mode just like WinAFL. I set breakpoints atits beginning andend toexamine its arguments andunderstand what happens tothem by theend ofits execution. While Visual Studio isinstalling, download. Such anapproach allows you toavoid wasting extra time onthe program launch andinitialization andsignificantly increases thefuzzing speed. Stability isa very important parameter. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); WinAFL isa fork ofthe renowned AFL fuzzer developed tofuzz closed-source programs onWindows systems. I set breakpoints atits beginning andend andsee what happens. In order to do that, I modified WinAFL to add a new option: -log_signal. If something behaves strangely, then I need to find the reason why. For more info about the original project, They also started reviewing this case for a potential bounty award. The crash itself is not especially interesting, but I will still detail it because its a great example of stateful bug. Todo so, you can parallelize thefuzzer, play with thenumber offuzz_iterations, ortry tofuzz ina smarter way. WinAFL is a fuzzer for Windows which can take a corpus of input files, track which code is executed, and generate new inputs to execute new execution paths. Modify the -DDynamoRIO_DIR flag to point to the Heres what the architecture of the channels client implementation resembles: RDPDR channel architecture in mstscax.dll. I thought it could be an issue with WTSVirtualChannelOpen specifically, so I tried with its counterpart WTSVirtualChannelOpenEx. Then I restart theprogram andsee that thetwo arguments are thepaths tomy test file anda temporary file. Perhaps this channel is really meant not to be opened with the WTS API. The client will save this list of formats in this->savedAudioFormats. All aspects of WinAFL operation are described in the official documentation, but its practical use - from downloading to successful fuzzing and first crashes - is not that simple. Upgrading to 8 GB of RAM solved the issue, meaning the memory overcommitment was not as violent as in the CLIPRDR bug. 2021-07-22 Sent vulnerability reports to FreeRDP; they pushed a fix on the same day. More specifically, the client calls VCManager::ChannelClose which calls VirtualChannelCloseEx. Below is an example mutator that increments every byte by one: Special thanks to Axel "0vercl0k" Souchet of MSRC Vulnerabilities and Most targets will just get a 100% score, but when you see lower figures, there are several things to look at. Microsoft has its own implementation of RDP (client and server) built in Windows. We cant leak much information remotely. Some CVEs that came out during this period are CVE-2021-34535, CVE-2021-38631 and CVE-2021-41371. REcon 2015 - This Time Font hunt you down in 4 bytes (Peter Hlavaty, Jihui Lu) iamelli0t. This talk describes our journey to make a traditional coverage-guided fuzzer (WinAFL) fuzz a complex network protocol - RDP.
