Conclusion

Overview

Fuzzing is a term that encapsulates the activity that surrounds the discovery of most security bugs found. Although university-level academic research focuses on "provable" security techniques, most in-the-field security researchers tend to focus on techniques that generate results quickly and efficiently . This chapter will examine the tools and methodologies behind finding exploitable bugs ”something of great interest, no doubt, following the information in the previous chapters. Keep in mind, however, that for all the research into vulnerability analysis that has been done, the vast majority of security vulnerabilities are still found by luck. This chapter will teach you how to get lucky.
