Summary:

A ""fuzzer"" is a program that attempts to discover security vulnerabilities by sending random data to an application. If that application crashes, then it has defects 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 for a while, but is making a transition from hacker home-grown tool to commercial-grade quality assurance
