Michael Sutton - Fuzzing - Brute Force Vulnerability Discovery

This presentation will introduce fuzzing and discuss how it can be applied to different classes of vulnerabilities. We will begin by looking at fuzzing from an academic perspective. Most importantly, newly developed open source tools will be demonstrated and released publicly. Two primary audiences will be attracted to this presentation; those wishing to discover vulnerabilities through fuzzing and those who wish to protect against them.
