trinity 1.3-1 (armhf binary) in ubuntu trusty
As 'fuzz testing' suggests, trinity calls syscalls at random, with random
arguments. Where Trinity differs is that the arguments it passes are not
purely random.
.
If a syscall took, for example, a file descriptor as an argument,
one of the first things kernels does is validate that fd, if is not valid the
kernel would just reject it as -EINVAL.
.
So on startup, Trinity creates a list of file descriptors, by opening pipes,
scanning sysfs, procfs, /dev, and creates a bunch of sockets using random
network protocols. Then when a syscall needs an fd, it gets passed one of
these at random.
.
Trinity also shares those file descriptors between multiple threads, which
causes havoc sometimes.
.
