## Abstract (arXiv)

Magma is an open-source and ground-truth fuzzing benchmark that enables uniform fuzzer evaluation and comparison. Magma was originally released with a research paper published at ACM SIGMETRICS 2021. This short paper explains the motivation, the design, and the impact of Magma, with a description of extensions to the original benchmark.
