This summer, Ada Logics integrated continuous fuzzing into Teleport to strengthen the security posture of the project. We’d like to thank Adam Korczynski from Ada Logics for initiating contact and doing the work. In this blog post, we will give a brief introduction to fuzzing and explain how to carry on the work moving forward. The motive for this work was to take the first steps in implementing fuzzing into Teleport’s development pipeline.
Over the past decade, technology enthusiasts have dreamed about smartphones and tablets taking over various aspects of our lives. They have in many ways, but the shift has always been gradual.

The types of sites used to distribute these malicious apps and the information exfiltrated suggests that the ultimate goal is extortion or blackmail.
On Dec 8, 2020, the cybersecurity company FireEye reported that there had been a cyber attack on their systems. As part of this attack, their inventory of Red Team tools was stolen. These tools could potentially be used by a threat actor against unsuspecting victims.
