The Software Fuzzing Course focuses on the principles and techniques of fuzz testing, covering both closed-source and open-source fuzzing approaches for various targets such as grammars, file formats, and network protocols. Participants will learn how to systematically generate and inject malformed inputs into software applications to uncover vulnerabilities and security flaws. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, participants will gain practical skills in fuzzing techniques, tool selection, and result analysis to enhance the security of software systems.
