Thank you for your quick reply.

Yes Pin is a dynamic binary instrumentation framework like Valgrind but it
provides a rich API set which allows to build powerful tools easily.

Actually, identifying all the branches of a running program, which is the
main function of the "improved fuzzer", can be achieved whith a small Pin
tool (~100 lines). The remaining is only algorithms.

If I understood your idea well, both can be implemented in 12 weeks for
sure.
I'll take a closer look at randptk utility.

Feel free to suggest improvements or additional ideas.

Sonny
