Mayhem Case Studies

"Mayhem was able to crash a handful of well-funded software projects ... vulnerabilities in those smaller projects that don’t receive enough scrutiny yet are (indirectly) used in countless other critical projects" - Raj Shah

Mayhem can analyze compiled binaries written in languages like C/C++, Go, Rust, Java, and Python that read from a file, standard input, or from the network via a TCP or UDP socket. Mayhem also handles user-land (containerized) Linux applications.

CTFs are for people to teach themselves, through games, how to be better hackers. In fact, some are designed to teach you, through gamification, how to reverse engineer. At the very least, Capture the Flag challenges you to solve problems creatively. That’s something that is often missing.

Mayhem runs your application and automatically checks to sees if the application is hardened or protected against exploitation, then tests the target application with different input permutations and monitors for any abnormal behaviors/defects.

Mayhem for API automates testing REST APIs by bringing the full might of fuzzing methodology to API testing. With the guidance of an API specification, Mayhem for API provides accurate and informative test coverage tailored to any REST API.

Mayhem for API provides developers with security, verfication, and performance data before code gets deployed to help them build quality APIs faster. Current API testing does not go deep enough, if at all, in probing performance and reliability. Mayhem for API brings fuzzing automation technology to the realm of API testing, allowing developers to find those hard-to-expose defects that only fuzzers are built to find and other API testing tools are not equipped to provide.

With the rapid development of modern web APIs, developers must balance quality, reliability, and security with time to market. Mayhem for API automates testing REST APIs by bringing the full might of fuzzing methodology to API testing.

Mayhem is an Application Security Testing platform for developers and security practitioners alike to collaborate and easily organize, manage, and test their applications for defects and security vulnerabilities. At its core, Mayhem uses an advanced fuzzer that analyzes a running Linux process.
