arXiv:2609.27300v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hardware fuzzing is an active area in security verification research, yet its industrial adoption remains in its early stages. This SoK examines which lessons from software fuzzing carry over to hardware and where unique approaches are needed. By analyzing 52 fuzzers across RTL/IP, CPU, NoC, and SoC designs, we introduce an analytical framework that frames verification as a bounded search.
