fuzzing-dictionary

fuzzing-dictionary is a skill for Claude Code from RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,425 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A collection of domain-specific words and byte patterns that guide fuzzers, tools that feed programs many unusual inputs to find crashes and bugs. The entries help fuzzers reach deeper parser and protocol code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when fuzzing parsers, network protocols, JSON or XML handling, configuration files, and other format-specific code with libFuzzer, AFL++, or cargo-fuzz.
Why use it?
Random inputs often fail early validation, so important parts of a program may never be tested.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fuzzing-dictionary scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Fuzzing Dictionary

A fuzzing dictionary provides domain-specific tokens to guide the fuzzer toward interesting inputs. Instead of purely random mutations, the fuzzer incorporates known keywords, magic numbers, protocol commands, and format-specific strings that are more likely to reach deeper code paths in parsers, protocol handlers, and file format processors.

Overview

Dictionaries are text files containing quoted strings that represent meaningful tokens for your target. They help fuzzers bypass early validation checks and explore code paths that would be difficult to reach through blind mutation alone.

Key Concepts

Concept Description
Dictionary Entry A quoted string (e.g., "keyword") or key-value pair (e.g., kw="value")
Hex Escapes Byte sequences like "\xF7\xF8" for non-printable characters
Token Injection Fuzzer inserts dictionary entries into generated inputs
Cross-Fuzzer Format Dictionary files work with libFuzzer, AFL++, and cargo-fuzz

When to Apply

Apply this technique when:

  • Fuzzing parsers (JSON, XML, config files)
  • Fuzzing protocol implementations (HTTP, DNS, custom protocols)
  • Fuzzing file format handlers (PNG, PDF, media codecs)
  • Coverage plateaus early without reaching deeper logic
  • Target code checks for specific keywords or magic values

Skip this technique when:

  • Fuzzing pure algorithms without format expectations
  • Target has no keyword-based parsing
  • Corpus already achieves high coverage

Quick Reference

Task Command/Pattern
Use with libFuzzer ./fuzz -dict=./dictionary.dict ...
Use with AFL++ afl-fuzz -x ./dictionary.dict ...
Use with cargo-fuzz cargo fuzz run fuzz_target -- -dict=./dictionary.dict
Extract from header grep -o '".*"' header.h > header.dict
Generate from binary strings ./binary | sed 's/^/"&/; s/$/&"/' > strings.dict

fuzzing-dictionary is a skill published in the GitHub repository RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills (52 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 2,425 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
