I was going through the OWASP Top Ten Guide and I came across these terms:- 1. Parameter fuzzing 2. Forced browsing What are these? Is forced browsing something like an attempt to access a resource that I am not supposed to access by putting the direct link with the necessary parameter values in a hope that may be in that page the authentication is broken? Also, I read about fuzzers. Can someone throw light on what are fuzzers? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire Watchfire was recently named the worldwide market leader in Web application security assessment tools by both Gartner and IDC.
