Subject: [Bitcoin-development] Fuzzer?
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:27:52 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1327534072.49535.YahooMailNeo@web121001.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hey,

I heard there is a fuzzer in the works? Where can I find more details of this? I'm going to write one for libbitcoin, but if one already exists then I'd rather build on and use that.

Something simple like:
- Set previous block hash, set current target
- Start hashing
- Connect and send to specified host (i.e localhost)

That way I can force re-organisations and stress the blockchain algorithm. Should be trivial for me to build, but worth asking anyway :)

Thanks
