Direct kernel fuzzing is a targeted approach that focuses on specific areas of the kernel, effectively addressing the challenges of frequent updates and the inherent complexity of operating systems, which are critical infrastructure. This paper introduces SyzAgent, a framework that integrates LLMs with the state-of-the-art kernel fuzzer Syzkaller, where the LLMs are used to guide the mutation and generation of test cases in real-time. We present preliminary results demonstrating that this method is effective on around 67\% cases in our benchmark during the experiment.
