*Fuzzinator* is a fuzzing framework that helps you to automate tasks usually

needed during a fuzz session:



* run your favorite `test generator`_ and feed the test cases to the

  software-under-test,

* catch and save the unique issues,

* reduce_ the failing test cases,

* ease the reporting of issues in bug trackers (e.g., Bugzilla or GitHub),

* regularly update SUTs if needed, and

* schedule multiple SUTs and generators without overloading your workstation.



All the above features are fully customizable either by writing a simple config

file or by implementing Python snippets to cover special needs. Check out some

slides_ about *Fuzzinator* for a general overview, or see the Tutorial_ for a

detailed walk-through. There is also a repository collecting configurations_ for

various real-life SUTs and fuzzers.



To help tracking the progress of the fuzzing, *Fuzzinator* provides three

interfaces:



* an interactive Web UI (WUI) (supported on all platforms) that gives a

  continuously updated overview about the currently running tasks, statistics

  about the efficacy of the test generators, and the found issues (and also

  supports reporting them);

* an interactive Text UI (TUI) (supported on Linux and Mac OS X only) that

  supports the same functionality as the WUI, but as a retro-style console

  interface; and

* a dump-mode (supported on every platform) that displays the news on line-based

  consoles.
