## What it is
FuzzDB is a comprehensive open-source dictionary of attack payloads, predictable resource locations, and regex patterns for black-box application fault injection and resource discovery. It functions as a dataset of security testing primitives rather than a tool, designed to be used with scanners and proxies like Burp Intruder and OWASP ZAP.

## Use cases
- fuzz web applications for sql injection and xss payloads
- discover hidden admin directories and log files on a web server
- find authentication bypass patterns during a pentest
- match server error responses with regex to detect vulnerabilities
- get wordlists for brute-forcing parameters and resources
- test file upload bypass and os command injection

## When to choose
- you need a comprehensive, categorized dictionary of attack payloads for dynamic application security testing
- you use Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, or a fuzzer that accepts custom payload lists
- you want predictable file path dictionaries sorted by platform and language

## When to avoid
- you need an automated scanner that runs tests for you rather than payload dictionaries
- you need a maintained tool with an active license and release process
- you are doing static source code analysis instead of black-box testing

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, security, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: security, penetration-testing, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: fuzzing, wordlists, attack-payloads, black-box-testing, dast, burp-suite, owasp
