In previous sections, we learned where data enters the program and how it moves through registers and memory.
Now, we have learned how to analyze program execution conditions to determine which inputs can reach a specific path.
When we combine these concepts:
Fuzzing
↓
Interesting Input
↓
Dynamic Taint Analysis
↓
Data Flow
↓
Symbolic Execution
↓
Path Constraints
↓
New Input
↓
Crash Analysis
↓
Root Cause
We no longer limit ourselves to simply running the program and observing crashes; we can trace the data path, understand the necessary conditions, and generate more targeted inputs to explore new paths.
