Fuzzing

Fuzzing, also known as fuzz testing, is an automated software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data (known as "fuzz") as input to a computer program. The primary goal is to discover coding errors and security vulnerabilities by causing the target program to crash, fail assertions, or handle the input in unintended ways. As a critical practice in cybersecurity, fuzzing is highly effective at uncovering exploitable flaws like buffer overflows, memory leaks, and denial-of-service weaknesses before malicious actors can find them, thereby enhancing overall software robustness and security.
