Hey guys, today we're looking at fuzzing and how it is used by security professionals and hackers to discover vulnerabilities within software in an automated fashion.

We look at the theory behind fuzzing, discuss the differences between dumb fuzzing, mutation based fuzzing, and coverage-guided fuzzing, and look at a practical example using the Jackalope fuzzer from Google to see how it finds a bug within a demo target program on macOS.

Thanks for watching
