System Requirements

For testcase reproduction (see Reproducing Testcases), no hardware restrictions with regard to architecture should exist. A linux operating system is required.

For fuzzing, a bare metal x86_64 architecture and linux operating system are required. At least 32GB of RAM are recommended.

Fuzzamoto has been tested on the following hardware:

Hetzner AX 102:

  • AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor
  • 128GB RAM

Intel machine:

  • 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K
  • 128GB RAM

If you have a machine that you've successfully fuzzed with Fuzzamoto, please share it with us, so we can refine the system requirements!

VMware backdoor

Nyx requires the kvm vmware backdoor to be enabled. This can be done using the following commands on your host machine:

sudo modprobe -r kvm-intel # or kvm-amd
sudo modprobe -r kvm
sudo modprobe  kvm enable_vmware_backdoor=y
sudo modprobe  kvm-intel # or kvm-amd
