## Tools

Tools which helps in fuzzing applications

File Format Fuzzers

Fuzzers which helps in fuzzing file formats like pdf, mp3, swf etc.,

MiniFuzz - Basic file format fuzzing tool by Microsoft.

BFF from CERT - Basic Fuzzing Framework for file formats.

AFL Fuzzer (Linux only) - American Fuzzy Loop Fuzzer by Michal Zalewski aka lcamtuf

Win AFL - A fork of AFL for fuzzing Windows binaries by Ivan Fratic

Shellphish Fuzzer - A Python interface to AFL, allowing for easy injection of testcases and other functionality.

TriforceAFL - A modified version of AFL that supports fuzzing for applications whose source code not available.

Peach Fuzzer - Framework which helps to create custom dumb and smart fuzzers.

MozPeach - A fork of peach 2.7 by Mozilla Security.
