Abstract
Web applications, systems and services, which are prone to cyber-attacks, can utilize an adaptive fuzzing system and methodology to intelligently employ fuzzer technology to test web site pages for vulnerabilities. A breadth first search and minimal fuzzing testing is performed on identified pages of a web site looking for either a vulnerability or the potential for a vulnerability. Heuristics are gathered and/or generated on each tested web page to determine a vulnerability score for the page that is an indication of the page's potential for hosting a vulnerability. When a page is discovered with a vulnerability score that indicates the page has the potential for a vulnerability a depth first search and expanded fuzzing testing is performed on one or more branches of the web site that begin with the page with the potential vulnerability.
