Hey HN! Long time lurker here.<p>Aperio is a black-box mutational fuzzer for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. You feed it network captures of normal usage, and it tries to break your app.<p>The core of the fuzzer is a genetic algorithm for finding new behaviors (inspired by AFL). It takes a new approach to fuzzing by building sequences of requests, instead of just fuzzing the inputs to single requests in isolation.<p>I&#x27;m super stoked about the project (and just fuzzing in general) so feel free to drop a comment here if you have any questions!
