10# OSS-Fuzz
11
12[Fuzz testing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing) is a well-known
13technique for uncovering programming errors in software.
14Many of these detectable errors, like [buffer overflow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow),
15can have serious security implications. Google has found [thousands] of security vulnerabilities and
16stability bugs by deploying
17[guided in-process fuzzing of Chrome components](https://security.googleblog.com/2016/08/guided-in-process-fuzzing-of-chrome.html),
18and we now want to share that service with the open source community.

22In cooperation with the [Core Infrastructure Initiative](https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/),
23OSS-Fuzz aims to make common open source software more secure and stable by
24combining modern fuzzing techniques with scalable,
25distributed execution.
26
27We support the [libFuzzer](http://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html) and [AFL](http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/) fuzzing engines
28in combination with [Sanitizers](https://github.com/google/sanitizers), as well as
29[ClusterFuzz](https://github.com/google/clusterfuzz),
30a distributed fuzzer execution environment and reporting tool.
31
32Currently, OSS-Fuzz supports C/C++, Rust, and Go code. Other languages supported by [LLVM](http://llvm.org) may work too.
33OSS-Fuzz supports fuzzing x86_64 and i386 builds.

35## Learn more about fuzzing
36
37This documentation describes how to use OSS-Fuzz service for your open source project.
38To learn more about fuzzing in general, we recommend reading [libFuzzer tutorial]
39and the other docs in [google/fuzzing] repository. These and some other resources
40are listed on the [useful links]({{ site.baseurl }}/reference/useful-links/#tutorials) page.
