In the context of fuzz testing, an oracle is a way to determine whether the test has succeeded or failed. It is called an "oracle" because it is a mechanism that is used to determine the correct behavior of the system being tested, much like an Oracle in ancient Greek mythology was a source of wisdom or knowledge.
In fuzz testing, the oracle is used to determine whether the input provided to the system being tested has caused it to behave in an unexpected or incorrect way. This could include crashing the system, causing it to behave differently than expected, or causing it to produce incorrect output.
The oracle is an important part of the fuzz testing process because it allows the tester to determine whether the input provided to the system has caused it to behave in a way that is outside of its normal range of behavior. This information can then be used to identify and fix vulnerabilities or defects in the system.
