Open Source Fuzzing Tools Book

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. .Learn How Fuzzing Finds VulnerabilitiesEliminate buffer overflows, format strings and other potential flaws .Find Coverage of Available Fuzzing ToolsComplete coverage of open source and commercial tools and their uses.Build Your Own FuzzerAutomate the process of vulnerability research by building your own tools.Understand How Fuzzing Works within the Development ProcessLearn how fuzzing serves as a quality assurance tool for your own and third-party softwareRead More
