Google Home-brews Powerful Automatic Scanning Fuzzer

"Google's security team is home-brewing a powerful combination scanner and fuzzing tool that experts say will be unique outside of the commercial domain. In a posting on the Google security team's blog, Srinath Anantharaju said on July 16 that the security team has been working on a black-box fuzzing tool called Lemon, in the spirit of the word as it's used to denote defective products. Fuzz testing, or fuzzing, is a black-box software testing technique in which malformed data is injected automatically to find implementation bugs in code. In particular, Google is targeting XSS (cross-site scripting) bugs, according to Anantharaju."
