Boofuzz is a network protocol fuzzing tool, used for testing TCP, HTTP, FTP, DNS, and custom protocols. It is an improved version of the SPIKE fuzzer and helps identify security flaws in network-connected applications.
🔹 Key Features:
- Supports stateful fuzzing (for multi-step interactions like authentication).
- Provides automated payload generation to test different inputs.
- Can be customized for specific protocols.
🔹 Use Case Example:
- Fuzzing an FTP server to check for buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
🔹 Limitations:
- Requires manual setup for defining protocol structures.
- Not designed for file format fuzzing.
