Website Fuzzing

Website fuzzers operate the same functions as Directory Busters, but are performed on a website or application. These allow you to find any anomalies that could suggest hidden parameters, functionality, or improper input handling.

A better explanation of this would be to think of having implemented a form on your website, which is usually secure. With the correct inputs, it could bring back results that contain information regarding the backend of your server, which then would pose a security flaw, as a hacker could now sit and potentially find various ways of entry into your system.

You’ll usually use this tool during the vulnerability assessments and scanning phases, as this is all to do with collecting information and resources. This also highlights a topic renowned as injection attacks.
