The Mayhem Platform
Dynamic Code, API, and SBOM Security - all in one dashboard.
What is Mayhem?
Mayhem is a cutting-edge, developer-first application and API 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.
Why should you use Mayhem?
Mayhem generates thousands of tests per minute, continually learns from past runs to improve coverage, and ensures actionable and prioritized results while integrating seamlessly into your development pipeline. With Mayhem, you can enhance your software's security, mitigate risks, and maintain the integrity of your applications, all while streamlining the testing process and freeing up developers to focus on building exceptional software.
How does Mayhem work?
Mayhem operates through a combination of technologies to comprehensively evaluate your application and API security. By merging fuzzing with our proprietary symbolic execution, Mayhem explores all possible execution paths, generating new test cases to expose unknown defects. Machine learning enables Mayhem to learn from past runs, identifying patterns of vulnerabilities and guiding its testing efforts towards susceptible areas.
Automated triage and reproduction validate and prioritize results, while regression testing ensures the durability of fixes. With seamless integration into the development pipeline, Mayhem systematically enhances code security, making it a pivotal solution for robust and reliable software development.
Fuzz Testing
Mayhem employs fuzz testing, a dynamic security testing technique, to expose vulnerabilities and defects in software applications. Fuzzing subjects programs to various random inputs to trigger unexpected behaviors that might lead to crashes, memory leaks, or security vulnerabilities. Fuzz testing uncovers hidden flaws that are often missed by other security testing techniques.
Symbolic Execution
Mayhem combines fuzzing with our proprietary symbolic execution technology. Symbolic execution analyzes program execution paths by representing inputs and variables as symbolic expressions. This approach allows Mayhem to explore all possible paths, even those difficult to reach with standard testing. By leveraging symbolic execution, Mayhem generates numerous test cases that uncover unknown defects and steadily expands its coverage.
Generative AI and ML
Mayhem learns from previous test runs to identify patterns of crashes, memory leaks, and anomalies indicating potential vulnerabilities. This "smart" fuzzing approach optimizes the exploration of execution paths, focusing on areas historically prone to defects. Self-learning algorithms continually expand test coverage, addressing parts of the code often overlooked by static analysis.
Automated Triage and Reproduction
Mayhem eliminates false positives by automating the reproduction of results. Every identified vulnerability is real, actionable, and reproducible. Automated reproduction recreates vulnerabilities in a controlled environment, allowing development teams to observe and validate issues.
Mayhem’s automated triage makes resolution easy. Prioritization is based on severity, potential impact, and exploitability, enabling efficient resource allocation for critical vulnerabilities.
Regression Testing
Mayhem employs regression testing to ensure that fixes stay fixed. By running a suite of previously executed test cases against updated code, regression testing prevents the recurrence of resolved bugs after modifications.This process verifies that recent code changes or updates maintain existing functionality without introducing new defects
Seamless Integration
Mayhem works with your existing development process, seamlessly integrating into your development pipeline and operating continuously in the background.
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.
