By James Michael Stewart
June 3, 2015

SecurityQOW04What types of concerns is fuzzing used to discover?

A. Short passwords
B. XML injection vulnerability
C. Security camera obfuscation
D. CA trust structures

Reveal Answer

The correct answer is B.

Fuzzing is a software testing process which sends randomized inputs to a target to see if the software code or logic is flawed. Fuzzing is capable of detecting errors such as XML injection vulnerabilities as well as SQL injection and buffer overflow. However, fuzzing is not the appropriate testing mechanisms for short passwords, security camera obfuscation or CA trust structures.
