Mayhem Blog

We’re happy to announce we’re making Mayhem for API free with up to 50 monthly scans, available to everyone today.

Last week, I found and fixed two crashing bugs in etcd , the distributed key-value store used (among other things) to manage the state of kubernetes clusters. I’m excited to have been able to contribute a bit to such an excellent project!

Our CLI runs on your dev machine and can scan local APIs. The central tool to develop software as a team is a Source Code Management system like GitHub.

With Mayhem for API, you can squeeze even more testing out of your existing Postman collections.

API Fuzzing is technique where a comprehensive suite of inputs is generated to test an API. By using fuzzing techniques to generate inputs and observing the response from the application, an API fuzzer can quickly iterate through multitudes of test cases to find weakness in an API’s functionality or security.
