Another book for the overflowing shelves in my office.
From Earth Times:
In this book, renowned fuzzing experts Michael Sutton, Adam Greene and Pedram Amini show you how to use fuzzing to reveal weaknesses in software before someone else does. Fuzzing is the first and only book to completely cover all aspects of fuzzing, bringing disciplined best practices to a technique that has traditionally been implemented informally. The authors review how fuzzing works and outline its advantages over other security testing methods. They introduce state-of-the-art fuzzing techniques for finding vulnerabilities in a variety of applications. The book also walks readers through the development of a variety of open source fuzzing tools that have been developed exclusively for this publication. Fuzzing demonstrates the use of automated fuzzing tools, and presents several insightful case histories showing the fuzzing technique at work. Whether you are a developer, security engineer, tester, or QA specialist, Fuzzing: Brute Force Vulnerability Discovery provides important information on how to successfully build secure software.
