fm-fsf is a new fuzzer/data scraper that works under OSX, Linux (with Mono) and Windows (.NET Framework). Fuzzing tools are always useful if you are looking at discovering some new flaws in a software or web service.

Quick Info

FSF is a plug-in based freakin’ simple fuzzer for fuzzing web applications and scraping data.

It supports some basic stuff and is missing some features however it has got some advanced RegEx capturing features for scraping data out of web applications.

It’s still in early stage of development so don’t expect too much.

Why bring yet another fuzzer into this cruel world?

The author was trying to fuzz something and after spending about 2-3 hours about 3-4 different terribly designed fuzzers he thought knocking up his own would be better.

Don’t use if you….

• Want a fuzzer where you can control the raw HTTP request
• Need some crazy features such as fuzzing multiple locations at a time

Use if you need a fuzzer…

• That allows to take advantage of RegEx with the full power for scraping data (this is quite useful while exploiting SQL Injections, gathering data, looking for some hidden resource or trying to enumerate all valid “user id”s)
• Simple to run and easy to use
• Which makes it easy to write your own fuzzing modules
• With simple and compact .NET code

To continue with some software targeted towards security and self-protection after posting about Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) and Microsoft Security Assessment Tool (MSAT) we continue with one more – Secunia Personal Software Inspector. We did write about this software way back when Secunia first came out with their Secunia Software Inspector.

There’s now 3 versions though PSI (Personal), OSI (Online) and NSI (Network). There was an update to the Personal Software Inspector recently (25th Nov. 2008) and it’s now final grade software version 1.0.0.1.

Statistics from the Secunia PSI shows that 98 out of 100 PCs have 1 or more insecure programs installed! Download the free Secunia PSI and check your PC for insecure programs exposing you to security threats!

VULNERABLE ?
Did you know that many of the hacker attacks and security threats today exploit software vulnerabilities and code flaws?

UPDATED ?
Keeping your PC and especially your 3rd party programs updated requires you to search the Internet for updates and patches on a regular basis – for all the programs installed on your PC.

WHATS ON YOUR PC ?
The typical user has 30-60 programs installed – do you know which programs you have installed? Do you know which programs expose you to security threats?

SECURE ?
Is your PC secure? Do you have all the latest security updates and patches?

PROTECT YOURSELF !
Security patches are usually free and available for download from the program vendors. Let the Secunia PSI pinpoint exactly which patches you need to secure your PC.

The Secunia PSI is a free security tool designed with the sole purpose of helping you secure your computer against vulnerabilities in programs.
