What is Fuzzing?

Fuzz testing, or fuzzing, is a type of dynamic application security testing technique, where malformed inputs are sent to an application.

The goal of fuzz testing is to trigger anomalous behaviors, such as crashes, infinite loops or memory leaks. All these bad behaviors are a sign of an underlying vulnerability, typically 0-days.

Fuzzing allows users to verify that their applications are able to withstand unexpected situations.
