Hi there.

fuzzing is testing s/w for possible oob conditions.

when a sw person gets a request to do something, the requirements might say

program must accept input of a number.

so the programmer might do something like write software that allows a user to enter a number.

From a fuzzing perspective one might:
try entering non numbers
enter negative numbers
enter really big numbers
enter special control codes
enter a number followed by some crazy stuff then a bunch of hex bytes .
the hex bytes might in the form of assembler and one then sees what happens.
