Takanen (Codenomicon), DeMott (Crucial Security, Inc.) and Miller
(Independent Security Evaluators) have written this guide to
"fuzzing" techniques for software programmers who are
interested in new ways to thwart potential hackers. By adopting the
perspective of the average hacker, the authors describe how to use
fuzzing, or signal noise, to hide flaws in software applications, and
how to use these methods to audit and test development projects. This
book offers a solid alternative to commercial security tools, and
provides step-by-step instruction on how to build fuzzing tools from
scratch.
