At this point this research is purely academic, so the scope of it was simply to hinder fuzzers while minimizing overhead for users. Like all code, this would also need to be evaluated for correctness (just like your comment!). This is introducing new techniques to the already established field of anti-fuzzing

There is definitely a lot of considerations that arise with this form of releasing software. It does not fix bad code and should not be used as the only security consideration for a codebase. I could see this being incorporated into a closed source project that has a good testing and code review pipeline as well as regular third party pentests on a release of the software that does not use fuzzification. From a project motivation standpoint, we were examining the internals of fuzzers and found that these techniques could be extremely effective. Right now the project is just academic research and no projects currently use this technology.
