"Fuzz testing finds industries left vulnerable by unsecured software"

The Synopsys’ State of Fuzzing 2017 report reveals that open source protocols and common file formats used within six different industries, likely contain zero day exploits.  The report derives from more than 4.8 billion fuzz tests performed by users of Synopsys’s Defensics Fuzz Testing tool in 2016. Fuzz testing is a technique in which distorted input is sent to targeted software in order to discover vulnerabilities within the software. This article further discusses the findings of the report, the method of fuzzing, and the importance of utilizing fuzz testing in the development of software.
