fuzzing and vulnerability discovery
Fuzzing is a technique used in software testing to discover vulnerabilities or flaws by inputting random, unexpected, or invalid data into a program or system. This approach aims to find security weaknesses, crashes, or unintended behaviors that could potentially be exploited by attackers. Vulnerability discovery refers to the process of actively searching for and identifying weaknesses in software or systems, which can include fuzzing as one of the techniques used. Overall, fuzzing and vulnerability discovery help uncover and address potential security risks to enhance the overall resilience of a software or system.
