Fuzzing for Software Security Testing and Quality Assurance

Fuzzing for Software Security Testing and Quality Assurance
Fuzzing is a software testing approach where carefully designed or just randomly generated unexpected inputs are sent to software a device in order to crash it. It's the most used technique hackers use to find security bugs. The book shows how to make it a standard practice that integrates seamlessly with other development activities and goes through each phase of software development and points out where testing and auditing can tighten security. The book also identifies cases where available tools fall short and surveys other popular fuzzing tools and techniques that work better.
