In their own words

cargo-fuzz

cargo-fuzz is a Cargo subcommand for fuzzing Rust code. It invokes libFuzzer through the libfuzzer-sys crate rather than acting as a fuzzer itself. Start a crate with `cargo fuzz init`, add a target with `cargo fuzz add `, then use `cargo fuzz run ` to search for bugs. The tool can reduce a failing input with `cargo fuzz tmin` or trim a corpus with `cargo fuzz cmin`; `cargo fuzz coverage` generates source-based coverage information in version 0.10.0 or newer. Documentation also covers structure-aware fuzzing and Cargo feature options, plus a GitHub Actions workflow for building and running targets in CI. It supports Linux, macOS and Windows, with documented systems including x86-64 Linux, x86-64 and Apple-Silicon macOS, and Windows with LLVM sanitizer support. Windows programs can also be fuzzed with MSVC AddressSanitizer. Installation is documented as `cargo install cargo-fuzz`. It requires nightly Rust and a C++11-capable compiler. The project is free and distributed under the MIT and Apache License 2.0.

Jazzer

Jazzer is a free, coverage-guided fuzzer for JVM applications, running in-process and based on libFuzzer. It supports Java, Kotlin, Scala, and Clojure targets, as well as JNI and native libraries. With JUnit 5.9.0 or newer, fuzz tests can run alongside regular unit tests. The @FuzzTest annotation lets Jazzer generate and mutate method inputs, including primitives, strings, arrays, and standard library classes. JUnit fuzz tests can use saved crashing inputs in regression mode or generate and mutate inputs to explore coverage. Built-in sanitizers detect Java security issues such as SSRF, file path traversal, and OS command injection, and provide feedback to guide fuzzing. The README documents use with Maven, Gradle, and Bazel. Jazzer can also run as a standalone binary or through its Java main class. Supported systems are Linux x86_64 and arm64, macOS 12 or newer on x86_64 and arm64, and Windows x86_64. The jazzer-junit package is available on Maven Central, and the repository identifies the project as licensed under Apache-2.0.
