Subject: [ANN] RFuzz Web Destroyer 0.6 -- Doc'ed Out

Hi folks,

A quick announcement that RFuzz 0.6 is out and has a nearly complete
little website, full RDoc documentation, rubyforge project page, and
RubyGems for quick install.


WHAT IS RFUZZ?

"RFuzz is a Ruby library to easily test web applications from the
outside using a fast HttpClient and wicked evil RandomGenerator allowing
the average programmer to use advanced fuzzing techniques for just
pennies a day."


INSTALLING

If you can build Mongrel (not on Windows) then you can do:

  sudo gem install rfuzz

And you should be good.  RFuzz has two C extensions (HTTP parser and
ArcFour random engine) so it needs to build extensions.


DOCUMENTATION

http://rfuzz.rubyforge.org/  -- the site
http://rfuzz.rubyforge.org/docs.html -- just the docs


FEATURES

* A full ultra fast and light HTTP client based on the Mongrel core.
  * A fast ArcFour based RandomGenerator that feeds your applications
    more garbage than an army of freegans eats in a day.
  * A small DSL (Domain Specific Language) for running test Sessions and
    gathering statistics about the test.
  * Integration with RSpec for organizing and running tests.
  * Simple Rant scripts to generate and run whole test suites with
    dependencies. (in progress)
  * Outputs .csv files so you can analyze the results.
  * Lots of samples at http://rfuzz.rubyforge.org/sample.html showing
    off the client, sessions, stats gathering, etc.
