JS Engines

Conference presentation (slides | recording) of our paper “DUMPLING: Fine-grained Differential JavaScript Engine Fuzzing” at NDSS 2025. It received a Distinguished Paper Award.

The master’s thesis presentation of our differential JavaScript engine fuzzer “Dumpling”. The thesis was published as a paper at NDSS 2025 and received a Distinguished Paper Award.

V8, the JavaScript engine, is largely undocumented. An important source for understanding V8 is 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”.

A talk by ju256 and me about V8, Chrome’s JavaScript engine, with case studies of common bugs. The slides are available, although some context depends on the spoken presentation. We may give the talk again and have it recorded.
