I'd suggest suggest looking for one of the existing frameworks that does work at least minimally, but has incomplete coverage it proposing a project to enhance things to support FreeBSD. For example, my understanding of the status of Syzkaller is that is supports syscalls that are identical to those on Linux. That presumably means that there are many syscalls including quite important ones that aren't covered. -- Brooks --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJalfQbAAoJEKzQXbSebgfAZJ8IAJq4ur3tP1NJRs9vbD3I+JGB zMcaQQAV9/FGmWffNtFnApa1GrokFitC0Y4XJxaiYclNSi67KSsYLfDLkCL+keB0 fsoFCdlReo1Dsoi+d06uSWFhX2FZCFuwHVdhiIiZ0uwmxpqAX4V2gycvgixfLUVz y3Zm0YFKWsQdnVO4nR78dKFCUEi2VdxSVX3FCRQII+DjM2HINsvEwFLggpPZDh/l jjNLZ7s1IsTCYgGPiOH0WSlcMw+KWzrN7AbmVQSlSM6uUKQxui31oyqzrlGii+QO LAB0YD4T45OaA7AIyp5mzWqYICE4mSFiiZcxOU+2/fbjypRLkzvP6/oLBiYU6hE= =s9DR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z--
