Performance question #13

Closed cristinanahid closed 3 years ago

cristinanahid commented 3 years ago

Do you know how hotwax performs in comparison to tools based on dynamorio like afl-dynamorio? Or the performance of stalker compared to dynamorio tracing in general?

vanhauser-thc commented 3 years ago

frida has about x2 the speed compared to user mode qemu fuzzing. dynamrio is about 10x slower than qemu ... so expect a 20x+ slower speed with afl-dynamorio compared to frida.

the fastest you can have is either a binary rewrite (e.g. retrowrite) or if you can use qemu_mode with persistent + in-memory test cases

The plan is to provide better benchmarking info once we integrate the prefetch caching #10.
