Fuzzing In The Media

So what do people think about fuzzing? If you are a security specialist, you might think that fuzzing is a cool tool in the hacker toolbox. Or if you are in quality assurance, you might think it is just another protocol modelling tool, but with a specific purpose for finding security tools. But for the rest? The answer is simple, they have no idea what fuzzing is.

I was speaking at a press conference for Infosec London, and my personal experience there supported my past thinking. Only five out of twenty-plus journalists had ever heard about fuzzing. And these people write about security topics in their publications! It is a long road to change this, and we need everyone's help in that. That is actually the only reason why I wrote a book on fuzzing, and why I have one too many blogs on the topic. Please join me in evangelizing on fuzzing, to change the world for better!
