Fuzzing or Fuzz Testing is an automated testing approach where random data is given as input to software in hopes of provoking a fault or other adverse side-effects.   Fuzzing is especially useful for testing an application's exposure to tainted user input, e.g., document files, historically a popular vector for attacking desktop editors.

In this session Rob Weir will introduce the theory of fuzzing, review the history of its application to OpenOffice, describe in detail our current fuzzing environment and discuss some of the issues discovered by this technique.  Rob will also suggest some future paths for making fuzzing even more effective with OpenOffice.
