JS Engines

Conference presentation of our paper “DUMPLING: Fine-grained Differential JavaScript Engine Fuzzing” at NDSS 2025. It got awarded the distinguished paper award. A longer version of this talk is available here.

The master’s thesis presentation of our differential JavasScript engine Fuzzer “Dumpling”. The thesis is published as a paper at NDSS 2025 and received the distinguished paper award.

V8, the JavaScript engine, is largely undocumented. An important source to understand V8 are design documents. To the best of my knowledge, there is no index of all design docs. I made an attempt to create at least a partial index, i.e. all design docs I know of. It is not limited to design docs in the strict sense; more like “Google Doc with details about V8 development”. This is the current state of it.

A talk by ju256 and me about Chrome V8 internals with some case studies of common bugs. While the slides are okay to look at, there is a fair bit of context missing without the audio track. Maybe we will give the talk in a similar form somewhere where it is recorded in the future.
