Integrate Boofuzz with Vulnetix. Fuzz network protocols to discover crashes and unexpected responses, then convert findings to JSON for upload.
Install & scan
$ # Recommended: ephemeral environment uv run --with boofuzz python3 -c "import boofuzz; print(boofuzz.__version__)" # Or install globally pip install boofuzz $ # Run the fuzz script uv run --with boofuzz python3 fuzz_protocol.py
Run Boofuzz in CI
Scan on every push and upload the report as a workflow artifact:
- name: Install Boofuzz run: pip install boofuzz - name: Start target service run: ./target_server & - name: Run Boofuzz (10 minutes) run: timeout 600 python3 fuzz_protocol.py || true - name: Export crashes run: python3 export_crashes.py - name: Upload to Vulnetix run: vulnetix upload --file boofuzz-crashes.json
How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace Boofuzz. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of Boofuzz (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.

What Boofuzz does well
- Successor to Sulley: generation-based network-protocol fuzzing where you model messages with primitives (s_string, s_int, s_bytes) and blocks and it mutates each field systematically
- Broad transport support: TCP, UDP, SSL, raw/L2, serial, and UDP broadcast channels
- Built-in instrumentation for failure detection, automatic target reset after a crash, and process/network monitors
- Thorough test-data recording with replay and CSV export, plus a web UI for tracking runs
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Vulnetix runs no network fuzzing and does not model or send protocol test cases; it ingests Boofuzz crash/failure records and orchestrates them into one prioritised queue with exploit-intel, VEX and SSVC policy. Boofuzz drives the protocol testing against live targets; Vulnetix consolidates and prioritises what it surfaces alongside all other scanner output.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. Boofuzz keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise Boofuzz results in Vulnetix
Upload Boofuzz JSON output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
