vulnerabilities by sending random
data to an application. If that application crashes, then it has
deffects to correct. Security
professionals and web developers can use fuzzing for software
testing–checking their own
programs for problems–before hackers do it!
Open Source Fuzzing Tools is the first book to market that covers the
subject of black box
testing using fuzzing techniques. Fuzzing has been around fow a while,
but is making a transition
from hacker home-grown tool to commercial-grade quality assurance
product. Using fuzzing,
developers can find and eliminate buffer overflows and other software
vulnerabilities during the
development process and before release.
* Fuzzing is a fast-growing field with increasing commercial interest (7
vendors unveiled fuzzing
products last year).
* Vendors today are looking for solutions to the ever increasing threat
of vulnerabilities. Fuzzing
looks for these vulnerabilities automatically, before they are known,
and eliminates them before
release.
* Software developers face an incresing demand to produce secure
applications—and they are
looking for any information to help them do that.
