Boofuzz Integration Guide

Network protocol fuzzer: fuzz any TCP/UDP/serial protocol with Python

Get a Free API Key

Integrate Boofuzz with Vulnetix. Fuzz network protocols to discover crashes and unexpected responses, then convert findings to JSON for upload.

Python / Network ProtocolsCLI toolJSON

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

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.
