This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces. stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that only occur when a system is being thrashed hard. Use stress-ng with caution as some of the tests can make a system run hot on poorly designed hardware and also can cause excessive system thrashing which may be difficult to stop.

syzkaller is Google’s coverage-guided, feedback-driven kernel fuzzer designed to uncover reliability and security bugs in operating system kernels at scale. It automatically generates, mutates, and minimizes system call programs, then drives them through a specialized executor (syz-executor) to exercise deep kernel paths. The system integrates tightly with sanitizers such as KASAN, KMSAN, KCSAN, and UBSAN to surface memory safety, concurrency, and undefined behavior issues with actionable reports. A distributed architecture coordinates many fuzzing VMs, collects crash signatures, deduplicates them, and bisects to the first bad commit when possible. syzkaller maintains per-kernel “syz” descriptions so it understands arguments, flags, and resources of thousands of syscalls and ioctls across Linux and other kernels. ...
