Fuzzing by Michael Sutton, Adam Greene and Pedram Amini struck me as a good overview of many types of fuzzing techniques. If you read the Amazon.com reviews, particularly the verdict by Chris Gates, you'll see what I mean. For my purposes, the degree to which the authors covered the material was just right. If you're more in the trenches with this topic, you would probably want more from a book on fuzzing. I liked the following aspects of the book: integration of history, real examples, diversity of approaches, case studies, and examples. I thought the book was easy to read and well presented. Paired with more specific, newer books on finding vulnerabilities, I think Fuzzing is a winner.
My only real dislike involved the quotes by former US President George W. Bush at the start of each chapter. I thought they were irrelevant and a distraction.
