- Bob on Input Fuzzing

Input fuzzing is a technique to send semi-random bad data to your  
application to find security vulnerabilities and crashers.  I will  
talk about what it is and how you can fuzz your own programs to  
strengthen them against attacks.


- O'Tooles
	We will continue the discussion at our local watering hold Timothy  
O'Toole's at 622 Fairbanks (2 blocks east of the store).


We also wish to thank the folks who run the theater space at the  
Apple store for letting us have our meetings there, and Jonathan  
'Wolf' Rentzsch for hosting the CAWUG web site and our listserve.   
Thanks all.

Also, if you are working on a project and would like to talk about  
it  briefly / promote it, I think it would be fun for people to hear  
about  other people's projects.  Please email me off line and you can  
talk at  a future meeting or would like a book to review.

Future meetings dates:  no June Meeting due to WWDC, July 10th
