  • More about Fuzzing for Software Security Testing and Quality Assurance


Software is infested with security flaws that can be misused by hackers. Fuzzing is a software testing approach where carefully designed or just randomly generated unexpected inputs are sent to software to crash it. This book shows how to make it a standard practice that integrates seamlessly with other development activities and identifies cases where available tools fall short.

Format: Hardback
Length: 330 pages

Software is plagued with security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. Current test automation does not adequately cover negative or crash testing of software, and security experts rely on penetration tests that focus on identifying old known flaws rather than new ones. This book takes a hacker's perspective on the problem and explores the methods they employ to identify software flaws. The primary objective is to provide developers with a powerful new tool to fix worm-size holes in their own design, testing, and building without adding expense or time to already tight software development schedules and budgets.

Fuzzing is a software testing approach where carefully designed or randomly generated unexpected inputs are sent to software or devices to cause them to crash. It is the most widely used technique by hackers to uncover security bugs. The book demonstrates how to make fuzzing a standard practice that seamlessly integrates with other development activities and covers each phase of software development, highlighting areas where testing and auditing can enhance security. Additionally, the book identifies cases where available tools fall short and surveys other popular fuzzing tools and techniques that perform better.

By adopting a hacker's mindset and utilizing fuzzing techniques, developers can improve the security of their software and reduce the risk of exploitation by hackers. This book provides valuable insights and practical guidance for developers who want to enhance the security of their applications.
