Sets up and runs Ruzzy, Trail of Bits' coverage-guided Ruby fuzzer and the only production-ready one for the language. Covers harness structure, fuzzing pure Ruby and the native C extensions in gems, and sanitizer builds. Use when fuzzing a Ruby library or gem, testing a Ruby C extension for memory safety, or asking how to fuzz Ruby at all.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ruzzy

Ruzzy is a coverage-guided fuzzer for Ruby built on libFuzzer. It enables fuzzing both pure Ruby code and Ruby C extensions with sanitizer support for detecting memory corruption and undefined behavior.

## When to Use

Ruzzy is currently the only production-ready coverage-guided fuzzer for Ruby.

**Choose Ruzzy when:**
- Fuzzing Ruby applications or libraries
- Testing Ruby C extensions for memory safety issues
- You need coverage-guided fuzzing for Ruby code
- Working with Ruby gems that have native extensions

## Quick Start

Set up environment:
```bash
export ASAN_OPTIONS="allocator_may_return_null=1:detect_leaks=0:use_sigaltstack=0"
```

Test with the included toy example:
```bash
LD_PRELOAD=$(ruby -e 'require "ruzzy"; print Ruzzy::ASAN_PATH') \
    ruby -e 'require "ruzzy"; Ruzzy.dummy'
```

This should quickly find a crash demonstrating that Ruzzy is working correctly.

## Installation

### Platform Support

Ruzzy supports Linux x86-64 and AArch64/ARM64. For macOS or Windows, use the [Dockerfile](https://github.com/trailofbits/ruzzy/blob/main/Dockerfile) or [development environment](https://github.com/trailofbits/ruzzy#developing).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add trailofbits/skills/ruzzy@sha256:46374463b7ff99b0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.3deb39e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
