Abstract

Embodiments provide a distributed file fuzzing environment. In an embodiment, a number of computing devices can be used as part of a distributing fuzzing system. Fuzzing operations can be distributed to the number of computing devices and processed accordingly. A group or team can be defined to process particular fuzzing operations that may be best suited to the group. The time required to perform a fuzzing operation can be reduced by distributing the fuzzing work to the number of computing devices. A client can be associated with each computing device and used in conjunction with fuzzing operations.
