Abstract

A system and method of fuzz testing an on-line gaming system includes a host test bench system capable of generating a protocol template that can be used for identifying primitives in the data communications between a client device and the online gaming servers. The protocol template can then be used to identify primitives in initial communications between the client device and the online gaming servers and perform generation fuzz testing of those initial communications. The system also includes a game stream interceptor that can intercept streaming online gaming data in both directions between the client device and the online gaming system. The intercepted streaming online gaming data can be mutated to test the client device and the servers in the online gaming system.

Dependent claims

System for testing an on-line gaming system comprising:

a host test bench system including:
a fuzz testing client;
a generation decoding library;
a generation fuzz testing module operable to generate generation fuzz test data for the on-line gaming system;
a game stream interceptor
a mutation fuzz testing module operable to generate mutation fuzz test data for the on-line gaming system;
and
a game stream decoding library;
and
a data communication network coupling the host test bench system to the on-line gaming system via a fuzz testing application programming interface, the game stream interceptor for intercepting data communications between the on-line gaming system and a client device.
