This paper proposes AgentFuzz, an agent-guided fuzzing framework that combines the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) with session-aware coverage metrics to effectively test stateful protocol implementations. The approach introduces Session-Aware Coverage (SAC), a novel metric that tracks both code coverage and protocol state transitions to guide the fuzzing process. A multi-agent architecture is presented where specialized agents handle mutation strategy selection, state exploration, and session management.
