boofuzz: fuzz an HTTP request
Fuzz an HTTP request.
1. Run the example
Download the boofuzz example. Extract it, install httpx, set your API URL and token, then run python client.py. The client uploads the included inputs, submits the command, and saves the result under results/RUN_ID.
2. Check the result
Read the native output and fuzz.db for the two example mutations and target responses.
Read the native exit code and cleanup status printed by the client. Read results and save reports explains the returned files.
3. Use your own inputs
Edit example.json to change the command arguments, requested outputs or deadline. Replace the files under inputs/ with your own data, keeping the staged paths aligned with the command. The client creates the artifact IDs for you; illustrative IDs shown here must not be copied into a live request.
