Primes

• Fuzzing
  • In software security it is coverage-guided fuzzers that have found tens of thousands of bugs in widely-deployed code.

    This sourceCoins "fuzz" testing — feeding random inputs through normal interfaces to crash programs — and reports widespread failures (about 24% of utilities), the origin of fuzzing.
