Sulley has several advanced features like the ability to run in parallel, depending on the hardware platform hosting it. It can also automatically determine, without user programming, what unique sequence of test cases will trigger faults. The Sulley Framework is well known in open-source fuzzing communities, but has not been actively updated in some time. Even so, the latest version, which is available for free on GitHub, is still in active use and performing well.
The boofuzz tool is based on the Sulley Fuzzing Framework. It was named after Boo, the little girl in the Monsters Inc. The boofuzz project began when it was clear that Sulley was no longer being actively updated. It uses the core Sulley code, but also aims to improve it. It installs as a Python library. Since starting the boofuzz project, the developers have added online documentation, support for more communications mediums, extensible failure detection and an easier-to-use interface.
Support for serial fuzzing, ethernet and UDP broadcast was also added as default features. Users of boofuzz can also export their results to a CSV file, so full spreadsheets of all triggered faults can be studied as the first step in fixing detected failures.
Many of the known bugs within Sulley have been eliminated in boofuzz, and the tool is actively updated and available on GitHub. One of the newest fuzzing tools in active use today, BFuzz is still technically in beta.
With that said, BFuzz already has a small bug trophy case including one uncovered vulnerability that resulted in a patch being issued for Epiphany Web and another involving Mozilla Firefox that triggered a buffer overflow. BFuzz is designed to be an input-based fuzzer that uses. In that sense, it resembles a DAST tool and might be a good fit for organizations that rely heavily on them since BFuzz uses similar testing methods but looks for different kinds of errors.
There is even a small YouTube video showing the fuzz tool in action. The PeachTech Peach Fuzzer is a commercial fuzzing tool where a lot of the legwork for testers has already been done by the PeachTech company. How the Peach Fuzzer works is that you load and configure the fuzzing engine with what the company calls Peach Pits.
Peach Pits are prewritten test definitions that cover a variety of different platforms. PeachTech says that each Pit contains specifications that fit specific targets, such as the structure of the data the target consumes and how the data flows to and from the tested device or application.
This allows testers to tightly focus their fuzz testing with very little setup. PeachTech also makes it easy for users to create their own Pits, so that the Peach Fuzzer tool can work with proprietary systems. It works with Mac, Windows and Linux, of course.
It can also be used to fuzz network protocols, embedded systems, drivers, Internet of Things devices and just about anything else that accepts commands and is thus susceptible to fuzzed inputs.

Here are the latest Insider stories. More Insider Sign Out. Fuzzing looks for these vulnerabilities automatically, before they are known, and eliminates them before release. Software developers face an increasing demand to produce secure applicationsand they are looking for any information to help them do that.

It works by automatically feeding a program multiple input iterations in an attempt to trigger an internal error indicative of a bug, and potentially crash it. Such program errors and crashes are indicative of the existence of a security vulnerability, which can later be researched and fixed.
