Launch HN: Fuzzbuzz (YC W19) – Fuzzing as a Service 147 by evmunro | 76 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, We’re Everest, Andrei and Sabera, the founders behind Fuzzbuzz ( https://fuzzbuzz.io ) - a fuzzing as a service platform that makes fuzzing your code as easy as writing a unit test, and pushing to GitHub. Fuzzing is a type of software testing that generates & runs millions of tests per day on your code, and is great at finding edge cases & vulnerabilities that developers miss. It’s been used to find tens of thousands of critical bugs in open-source software ( https://ift.tt/2fW71Bd ), and is a great way to generate tests that cover a lot of code, without requiring your developers to think of every possibility. It achieves such great results by applying genetic algorithms to generate new tests from some initial examples, and using code coverage to track and report interesting test cases. Combining these two techniques with a bit of randomness, and running tests thousands o...
