BLACK DUCK DEFENSICS® FUZZ TESTING

Find what ordinary testing was never designed to see.

Expose unknown vulnerabilities, robustness defects and interoperability failures by intelligently challenging protocols, interfaces, APIs and file formats—before an attacker or a field failure does.

Automated black-box testing No source code required Built for connected systems
300+ prebuilt, generational test suites
Early security testing across SDL and CI workflows
CWE mapped findings for faster remediation
API driven execution for scalable automation
Why Defensics

Go beyond expected behavior.

Traditional tests prove that a system works when inputs are valid. Defensics probes what happens when inputs are malformed, unexpected or hostile—the conditions that reveal exploitable weaknesses.

01

Protocol-aware intelligence

The generational fuzzing engine understands the rules of each input type, creating targeted negative tests instead of merely random mutations.

02

Faster time to fuzz

Start quickly with hundreds of maintained suites spanning protocols, interfaces and file formats—without building every test harness from scratch.

03

Actionable evidence

Contextual logs, message sequences, CWE mapping and single-case reproduction help engineering teams isolate, fix and verify each issue.

04

Custom coverage

Extend testing with template fuzzers, SDK Express, Universal Data Fuzzer or the Defensics SDK for proprietary input types.

05

Development-life-cycle fit

Bring repeatable fuzz testing into traditional SDL, CI/CD and DevSecOps checkpoints through rich APIs and data export.

06

Supplier collaboration

Create encrypted remediation packages so suppliers can reproduce a failure and collaborate securely on a validated fix.

How it works

From interface to verified fix.

A repeatable workflow converts complex security testing into clear engineering action.

01

Discover

Identify the test target, protocol layers and valid communication path.

02

Challenge

Generate systematic malformed and unexpected inputs with protocol awareness.

03

Observe

Use instrumentation and SafeGuard checks to detect anomalous behavior.

04

Remediate

Recreate the precise trigger, correct the weakness and verify the fix.

Cyber Resilience Act

Turn “secure by design” into testable evidence.

For products with digital elements, vulnerability handling begins before release. Defensics helps teams exercise exposed interfaces, uncover unknown weaknesses and preserve repeatable results that support a disciplined secure-development process.

  • Validate communication-protocol robustness
  • Detect implementation weaknesses before release
  • Automate repeatable security testing in DevSecOps
  • Generate evidence for remediation and re-testing
V2X & software-defined vehicles

Test every conversation around the vehicle.

Connected vehicles expand the attack surface across ECUs, gateways, telematics, diagnostics, wireless links and infrastructure. Protocol-aware fuzzing helps reveal what happens when those conversations become malformed or hostile.

  • CAN Bus and CAN FD
  • DoIP, SOME/IP, gPTP and SRP
  • Telematics, gateways and infotainment
  • ADAS, autonomous and connected systems

Built for the full decision team

Security without slowing engineering.

Defensics gives each stakeholder the evidence needed to make confident release and procurement decisions.

Product security

Uncover zero-day and unknown vulnerabilities before they become incidents, patches or recalls.

Development

Shift negative testing earlier and reproduce failures with a single minimized test case.

Quality assurance

Validate robustness, interoperability and resilience without needing access to source code.

Procurement

Assess third-party software and devices before bringing them into enterprise or lab environments.
