The the Host-based Firmware Analysis - Fuzzing Lite (HBFA-FL) is based off of forking the original HBFA from the edk2-staging repository. The original release of HBFA is described in the white-paper: "Using Host-based Firmware Analysis to Improve Platform Resiliency". The original release authors were Brian Richardson, Chris Wu, Jiewen Yao, and Vincent J. Zimmer.
The goal for HBFA-FL is to update the original codebase, enhancing some features and removing/streamlining some others, with a focus on functionality for Linux environments. To that end, HBFA-FL removes much of the original HBFA code base, including support for Windows and unit-testing; we retain support for fuzzing with AFL and LibFuzzer. This repository is effectively a fork from the original version of HBFA at this commit : ead8f4f8eefdb2eb762184e1a5809c43d6908952
To get started using HBFA-FL, we recommend taking a look at the documentation, starting here.
