Become a Mayhem Maker!
What is Mayhem?
Mayhem is a cutting-edge, developer-first application and API/Code/SBOM security testing solution designed to identify defects and vulnerabilities in software code. Developed by hackers, it employs a range of advanced techniques to systematically and comprehensively test applications for potential weaknesses, using the same methods that malicious actors use.
What is working at Mayhem like?
We’re a fully remote team with incredible people working from all over the world. That said, if you’re ever in Pittsburgh, PA, you’re more than welcome to drop by our office space (or not - no pressure, ever).
Our core values - hunger, growth, respect, and accountability - aren’t just words. They shape how we work, how we support each other, and how we build. Even remotely, we’re big on creating a strong sense of team through culture-building activities, collaborative workflows, and a lively Slack community (think #pets, #food, and, of course, plenty of channels where actual work happens, too).
We view and value our employees as the multi-dimensional individuals they are, as well as their career goals - we want to help you grow and develop in your field while working for a fantastic product!
Comply with ED-203A / DO-356A
These aviation standards evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented aircraft security measures. Use Mayhem to aid you in achieving compliance.
Prevent Hacks in Your Airplanes, Satellites, Aircraft, Etc.
Can you hack an airplane? A satellite in orbit? Turns out you can. Steve Luczynski and Matt Mayes join The Hacker Mind to talk about the importance of having hackers, vendors, and the government get together and work through problems regarding aerospace security.
Every Result is Real - No More False Positives
Unlike SAST, DAST and SCA tools, Mayhem's combination of techniques verifies every result and delivers a proof of concept exploit to developers - eliminating false positives and accelerating application delivery.
Security From Car to Cloud
Analyze on-car components and the APIs that connect to cloud services for end to end test coverage and risk awareness. Mayhem's application and API analysis goes beyond techniques like protocol fuzzing and simulates complex software interactions and device to device communication
Easily Export Tests and Results in Audits
Mayhem's behavioral testing and fuzzing engines are key parts of safety and security compliance regimes. Easy export of tests, results, and remediation proof. ISO 21434, UN 155/6, ISO 26262, and more.
Accelerate Production with SIL Testing
Mayhem analyzes virtualized electronic control units (vECUs), so you can shift costly hardware testing left and reap the benefits of faster, iterative software in the loop testing. Application fuzzing, binary analysis, and symbolic execution stimulate ECU pins, with easy export of results and traces.
Continuously Expanding Coverage
Mayhem's behavior testing engine is coverage-optimized, so it combines testing techniques, and writes new tests on the fly to maximize code coverage for your application. Fewer tests for you to write, more lines covered by Mayhem.
Why the Department of Defense Chose Mayhem
Learn how the DoD hand-picked Mayhem as the best solution to autonomously test their critical weapon systems applications for vulnerabilities, formulate patches, and deploy them in real time on network.
Forward-Looking Compliance
From NIST SSDF, to MDA and FDA Guidance, to EO 14028 and industry regulations across aerospace, automotive, telecommunications and more, Mayhem's fuzzing and symbolic execution technologies are critical parts of vital compliance regimes
Accelerate Red Team Activities
Mayhem has found bugs and vulnerabilities in thousands of open source projects. Its offensive security capabilities are validated by DARPA and available to federal agencies for use in red team operations
Security Across the Supply Chain
In 2021, the White House issued Executive Order 14028, enforcing heightened cybersecurity by requiring rigorous software supply chain reviews for federal processes. Mayhem's runtime analysis and behavior testing pinpoints what supply chain elements are used - or unused - in your final application.
Reduce Unnecessary Security Alerts by up to 90%
We take your SBOM and SCA results from tools like Snyk and Black Duck, filter out results from components that aren’t being used in your application, and reduce alert volume by up to 90%. This way, you can focus on fixing only the issues that matter.
No More False Positives - Pinpoint and Prove Vulnerabilities
Mayhem combines fuzz testing, symbolic execution, and generative AI to create and run thousands of behavioral tests that identify vulnerabilities and prove exploitability - so every result is real.
Leaders in Maximizing Code Coverage
We take code coverage to the next level. Mayhem surpasses AFL, libfuzzer, and similar tools by combining fuzz testing and symbolic execution to systematically explore more code paths. This approach reduces blind spots, increases code coverage, and finds complex bugs faster, all while keeping test suite size manageable.
Simplify Compliance
Easy export of tests run, behaviors observed, and vulnerabilities identified for use in internal audits or compliance reviews. ISO 21434, UN 155/6, NIST SSDF, SOC 2, and more.
Fix Issues Faster
Mayhem provides remediation guidance, automated triage, and reproduction commands for developers, helping them reproduce and fix issues quickly and easily.
