SDL MiniFuzz File Fuzzer is a basic file fuzzing tool designed to ease adoption of fuzz testing by non-security developers who are unfamiliar with file fuzzing tools or have never used them in their current software development processes.

The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) specifies development teams should perform fuzz testing during the Verification phase of the software development process. SDL MiniFuzz File Fuzzer is a basic testing tool designed to help detect code flaws that may expose security vulnerabilities in file-handling code. This tool creates multiple random variations of file content and feeds it to the application to exercise the code in an attempt to expose unexpected and potentially insecure application behaviors.
