Open Source Fuzzing Tools

Fuzzing is often described as a “black box” software testing technique.

It works by automatically feeding a program multiple input iterations in an attempt to trigger an internal error indicative of a bug, and potentially crash it.

Such program errors and crashes are indicative of the existence of a security vulnerability, which can later be researched and fixed.

Fuzz testing is now making a transition from a hacker-grown tool to a commercial-grade product.

There are many different types of applications that can be fuzzed, many different ways they can be fuzzed, and a variety of different problems that can be uncovered.

There are also problems that arise during fuzzing; when is enough enough?

These issues and many others are fully explored.
