17The process of integrating a project written in Rust with OSS-Fuzz is very
18similar to the general [Setting up a new project]({{ site.baseurl
19}}/getting-started/new-project-guide/) process. The key specifics of integrating
20a Rust project are outlined below.
21
22## cargo-fuzz support
23
24Rust integration with OSS-Fuzz is expected to use [`cargo
25fuzz`](https://github.com/rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz) to build fuzzers. The `cargo
26fuzz` tool will build code with required compiler flags as well as link to the
27correct libFuzzer on OSS-Fuzz itself. Note that using `cargo fuzz` also makes it
28quite easy to run the fuzzers locally yourself if you get a failing test case!
29
30## Project files
31
32First you'll want to follow the [setup instructions for `cargo fuzz`
33itself](https://rust-fuzz.github.io/book/). Afterwards your project should have:
34
35* A top-level `fuzz` directory.
36* A `fuzz/Cargo.toml` manifest which pulls in necessary dependencies to fuzz.
37* Some `fuzz/fuzz_targets/*.rs` files which are the fuzz targets that will be
38  compiled and run on OSS-Fuzz.
39
40Note that you can customize this layout as well, but you'll need to edit some
41the scripts below to integrate into OSS-Fuzz.
42
43### project.yaml
44
45The `language` attribute must be specified.
46
47```yaml
48language: rust
49```
50
51The only supported fuzzing engine and sanitizer are `libfuzzer` and `address`,
52respectively.
53[Example](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/12ef3654b3e9adfd20b5a6afdde54819ba71493d/projects/serde_json/project.yaml#L3-L6)
54
55```yaml
56sanitizers:
57  - address
58fuzzing_engines:
59  - libfuzzer
60```
61
62### Dockerfile
63
64The Dockerfile should start by `FROM gcr.io/oss-fuzz-base/base-builder-rust`
65
66The OSS-Fuzz builder image has the latest nightly release of Rust as well as
67`cargo fuzz` pre-installed and in `PATH`. In the `Dockerfile` for your project
68all you'll need to do is fetch the latest copy of your code and install any
69system dependencies necessary to build your project.
70[Example](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/12ef3654b3e9adfd20b5a6afdde54819ba71493d/projects/serde_json/Dockerfile#L18-L20)
71
72```dockerfile
73RUN git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/serde-rs/json json
74```
75
76### build.sh
77
78Here it's expected that you'll build the fuzz targets for your project and then
79copy the final binaries into the output directory.
80[Example](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/12ef3654b3e9adfd20b5a6afdde54819ba71493d/projects/serde_json/build.sh#L20):
81
82```sh
83cd $SRC/json
84cargo fuzz build -O
85cp fuzz/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/from_slice $OUT/
86```
87
88Note that you likely want to pass the `-O` flag to `cargo fuzz build` which
89builds fuzzers in release mode. You may also want to pass the
90`--debug-assertions` flag to enable more checks while fuzzing. In this example
91the `from_slice` binary is the fuzz target.
92
93With some bash-fu you can also automatically copy over all fuzz targets into
94the output directory so when you add a fuzz target to your project it's
95automatically integrated into OSS-Fuzz:
96
97```sh
98FUZZ_TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR=target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release
99for f in fuzz/fuzz_targets/*.rs
100do
101    FUZZ_TARGET_NAME=$(basename ${f%.*})
102    cp $FUZZ_TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR/$FUZZ_TARGET_NAME $OUT/
103done
104```
105
106## Writing fuzzers using a test-style strategy
107
108In Rust you will often have tests written in a way so they are only
109compiled into the final binary when build in test-mode. This is, achieved by
110wrapping your test code in `cfg(test)`, e.g.
111```rust
112#[cfg(test)]
113mod tests {
114    use super::*;
115
116    ...
117```
118
119Cargo-fuzz automatically enables the `fuzzing` feature, which means you can
120follow a similar strategy to writing fuzzers as you do when writing tests.
121Specifically, you can create modules wrapped in the `fuzzing` feature:
122```rust
123#[cfg(fuzzing)]
124pub mod fuzz_logic {
125    use super::*;
126
127    ...
128```
129and then call the logic within `fuzz_logic` from your fuzzer.
130
131Furthermore, within your `.toml` files, you can then specify fuzzing-specific
132depedencies by wrapping them as follows:
133```
134[target.'cfg(fuzzing)'.dependencies]
135```
136similar to how you wrap test-dependencies as follows:
137```
138[dev-dependencies]
139```
140
141Finally, you can also combine the testing logic you have and the fuzz logic. This
142can be achieved simply by using
143```rust
144#[cfg(any(test, fuzzing))]
145```
146
147A project that follows this structure is Linkerd2-proxy and the project files can be
148seen [here](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/tree/master/projects/linkerd2-proxy).
