OWASP WSFuzzer Description

Fuzz testing, commonly referred to as fuzzing, is a technique used in software testing that aims to discover implementation errors by injecting malformed or semi-malformed data in an automated way. For example, consider a scenario involving an integer variable within a program that captures a user's selection among three questions; the user's choice can be represented by the integers 0, 1, or 2, resulting in three distinct cases. Since integers are typically stored as fixed-size variables, a failure to implement the default switch case securely could lead to program crashes and various traditional security vulnerabilities. Fuzzing serves as an automated method for uncovering software implementation issues, enabling the identification of bugs when they occur. A fuzzer is a specialized tool designed to automatically inject semi-random data into the program stack, aiding in the detection of anomalies. The process of generating this data involves the use of generators, while the identification of vulnerabilities often depends on debugging tools that can analyze the program's behavior under the influence of the injected data. These generators typically utilize a mixture of established static fuzzing vectors to enhance the testing process, ultimately contributing to more robust software development practices.
