Carnegie Mellon University’s Computer Emergency Response Team (or CERT) has released a new fuzzing framework that will help identify and eliminate security vulnerabilities from different kinds of software.

The fuzz testers are used by security researchers to find vulnerabilities by sending random input to an application.

Fuzz testing has been popular among hackers, but with the release of this framework, CERT can push businesses to subject all software to fuzz testing.
