PyJFuzz is a small, extensible and ready-to-use framework used to fuzz JSON inputs , such as mobile endpoint REST API, JSON implementation, browsers, cli executable and much more. It is shipped with a built-in tool called PyJFuzz Web Fuzzer , this tool will provide an automatic fuzzing console via HTTP and HTTPS server, it can be used to easly fuzz almost any web browser even when you can’t control the process state!

There are two switch used to launch this tool (–browser-auto and –fuzz-web), the first one perform automatic browser restart when a crash occur, the other one try to catch when a browser doesn’t make requests anymore.
