"Fuzzing for Software Security Testing and Quality Assurance" gives
software developers a powerful new tool to build secure,
high-quality software, and takes a weapon from the malicious
hackers' arsenal. This practical resource helps developers think
like a software cracker, so they can find and patch flaws in
software before harmful viruses, worms, and Trojans can use these
vulnerabilities to rampage systems. Traditional software
programmers and testers learn how to make fuzzing a standard
practice that integrates seamlessly with all development
activities. The book progresses through each phase of software
development and points out where testing and auditing can tighten
security. It surveys all popular commercial fuzzing tools and
explains how to select the right one for a software development
project. The book also covers those cases where commercial tools
fall short and developers need to build their own custom fuzzing
tools.
