## AI overview

A ReactOS GSoC student describes porting Syzkaller, a Google coverage-guided kernel fuzzer, to ReactOS. The work includes restoring Windows x64 and x86 support, adapting required synchronization functions, and investigating a zombie executor process.

## Source excerpt

Hey, I am Suraj K Suresh (@Freakston), one of the GSoC students of ReactOS. This is the first time I've applied for GSoC and my mentors for the project are Victor Perevertkin and Timo Kreuzer. My project is "Porting Syzkaller to ReactOS". The project is getting one of the most famous Linux fuzzers to fuzz ReactOS. The project will lead to improvement of the kernel codebase by detecting code crashes.
