API Fuzzer vs. FuzzDB vs. OWASP WSFuzzer vs. PHP Secure Comparison Chart

API Fuzzer allows to fuzz-request attributes using common pentesting techniques and lists vulnerabilities. API Fuzzer gem accepts an API request as input and returns vulnerabilities possible in the API. Cross-site scripting vulnerability, SQL injection, blind SQL injection, XML external entity vulnerability, IDOR, API rate limiting, open redirect vulnerabilities, information disclosure flaws, info leakage through headers, and cross-site request forgery vulnerability.

Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software testing technique, that basically consists in finding implementation bugs using malformed/semi-malformed data injection in an automated fashion. Let’s consider an integer in a program, which stores the result of a user’s choice between 3 questions. When the user picks one, the choice will be 0, 1, or 2, which makes three practical cases. Integers are stored as a static size variable. If the default switch case hasn’t been implemented securely, the program may crash and lead to “classical” security issues. Fuzzing is the art of automatic bug finding, and its role is to find software implementation faults and identify them if possible. A fuzzer is a program that automatically injects semi-random data into a program/stack and detects bugs. The data-generation part is made of generators, and vulnerability identification relies on debugging tools. Generators usually use combinations of static fuzzing vectors.
