Abstract

A system and method for fuzzing a network application program, which use a captured packet upon fuzzing a network application program, and thus neither a protocol analysis procedure nor the production of a fuzzer program is required. The system for fuzzing a network application program includes a fuzzing performance client program unit for generating a packet to be transmitted from a captured packet, applying a fuzzing rule to the packet to be transmitted, and outputting a resulting packet. A fuzzing supervisor program unit provides the packet from the fuzzing performance client program unit to a target program to be fuzzed, monitors an event and abnormal termination of the target program to be fuzzed, and analyzes a situation of termination to verify security vulnerabilities if abnormal termination has occurred.
