Recon 2022 - Training Announcement
Practical Web Browser Fuzzing Training
Kickstart your journey into the intricate world of web browser fuzzing at Recon 2022! This exclusive training, led by experts Patrick Ventuzelo, is your opportunity to master advanced fuzzing techniques and uncover vulnerabilities in some of the most widely used software globally.
Overview
Web browsers are among the most complex software systems, managing untrusted web data with millions of lines of code. Inevitably, bugs slip through the cracks, making security essential. This hands-on training will equip participants with the skills to apply fuzzing techniques for identifying critical vulnerabilities in leading web browser implementations like Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit.
The training begins with an introduction to modern web browser architecture, followed by practical sessions using tools like Honggfuzz, Domato, Fuzzilli, and AFL++. Participants will gain expertise in fuzzing browser components such as DOM, JavaScript engines, JIT compilers, WebAssembly, and IPC. Real-world use cases ensure a practical, impactful learning experience.

About Us
FuzzingLabs was founded in 2021 by Patrick Ventuzelo, a vulnerability researcher who spent more than ten years finding the flaws hidden in firmware and binaries. He built FuzzingLabs to turn that passion into a company, and to teach it.
Today, FuzzingLabs is a French team of researchers and engineers. They compete at Pwn2Own, present at Black Hat and OffensiveCon, and pour that same passion into FuzzForge, the platform at the heart of the company.
