+# NetBSD
+
+## How to run syzkaller on NetBSD using qemu
+
+So far the process is tested only on linux/amd64 host. To build Go binaries do:
+```
+make TARGETOS=netbsd
+```
+To build C `syz-executor` binary, copy `executor/*` files to a NetBSD machine and build there with:
+```
+gcc executor/executor_NetBSD.cc -o syz-executor -O1 -lpthread -DGOOS=\"netbsd\" -DGIT_REVISION=\"CURRENT_GIT_REVISION\"
+```
+Then, copy out the binary back to host into `bin/netbsd_amd64` dir.
+
+Building/running on a NetBSD host should work as well, but currently our `Makefile` does not work there, so you will need to do its work manually.
+
+Then, you need a NetBSD image with root ssh access with a key. General instructions can be found here [qemu instructions](https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/BSD).
+
+To prepare the image, use `anita`. (You need the python module `pexpect` installed, for using Anita)
+```
+git clone https://github.com/utkarsh009/anita
+python anita/anita --workdir anitatemp install http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-8/201710221410Z/amd64/
+```
+Then spin up an instance from the image generated inside `./anitatemp` directory
+```
+qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -drive file=anitatemp/wd0.img,format=raw,media=disk -netdev user,id=mynet0,host=10.0.2.10,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:10022-:22 -device e1000,netdev=mynet0 -nographic
+```
+Then create an ssh-keypair without a password and save it by the name, say, `netbsdkey`
+
+```
+ssh-keygen -t rsa
+```
+Then append the following to `/etc/rc.conf`
+```
+sshd=YES
+ifconfig_wm0="inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0"
+```
+Append this to `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`
+```
+Port 22
+ListenAddress 10.0.2.15
+```
+Then add your pubkey to `/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` and `reboot` the VM.
+When you see the login prompt, open up another terminal on host and issue the following command
+```
+ssh -i netbsd -p 10022 root@127.0.0.1
+```
+
+If all of the above worked, `poweroff` the VM and create `netbsd.cfg` config file with the following contents (alter paths as necessary):
+```
+{
+ "name": "netbsd",
+ "target": "netbsd/amd64",
+ "http": ":10000",
+ "workdir": "work",
+ "syzkaller": "$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/syzkaller",
+ "image": "anitatemp/wd0.img",
+ "sshkey": "/path/to/netbsdkey",
+ "sandbox": "none",
+ "procs": 2,
+ "type": "qemu",
+ "vm": {
+ "qemu": "qemu-system-x86_64",
+ "count": 2,
+ "cpu": 2,
+ "mem": 2048
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Then, start `syz-manager` with:
+```
+bin/syz-manager -config netbsd.cfg
+```
+It should start printing output along the lines of:
+```
+booting test machines...
+wait for the connection from test machine...
+machine check: 253 calls enabled, kcov=true, kleakcheck=false, faultinjection=false, comps=false
+executed 3622, cover 1219, crashes 0, repro 0
+executed 7921, cover 1239, crashes 0, repro 0
+executed 32807, cover 1244, crashes 0, repro 0
+executed 35803, cover 1248, crashes 0, repro 0
+```
+If something does not work, add `-debug` flag to `syz-manager`.
+
+## Missing things
+
+- Automating the configuation changes (like appending to config files), generating the json config file on the fly (with customizable values to the keys using command line parameters) and calling syz-manager with `anita` using just a single command.
+- Coverage. `executor/executor_netbsd.cc` uses a very primitive fallback for coverage. We need KCOV for NetBSD. It will also help to assess what's covered and what's missing.
+- System call descriptions. `sys/netbsd/*.txt` is a dirty copy from `sys/linux/*.txt` with everything that does not compile dropped. We need to go through syscalls and verify/fix/extend them, including devices/ioctls/etc.
+- Currently only `amd64` arch is supported. Supporting `386` would be useful, because it should cover compat paths. Also, we could do testing of the linux-compatibility subsystem.
+- `pkg/csource` needs to be taught how to generate/build C reproducers.
+- `pkg/host` needs to be taught how to detect supported syscalls/devices.
+- `pkg/report`/`pkg/symbolizer` need to be taught how to extract/symbolize kernel crash reports.
+- We need to learn how to build/use debug version of kernel.
+- KASAN for NetBSD would be useful.
+- On Linux we have emission of exernal networking/USB traffic into kernel using tun/gadgetfs. Implementing these for NetBSD could uncover a number of high-profile bugs.
+- Last but not least, we need to support NetBSD in `syz-ci` command (including building kernel/image continuously from git).
