Usage

Run bin/console

Lets say you have following endpoint

Host: test.host.com
User-Agent: Mozilla Firefox
Auth: Basic Adnjefnef443nr4jh4h
{ credit_card: '4242424242424242', expiry: '07/17', cvv: '123', name: 'First name' }

API_Fuzzer module comes with static method scan and accepts above request

require 'API_Fuzzer'

options = {
  url: 'http://test.host.com/api/v2/credit_cards/123',
  params: {
    credit_card: '4242424242424242',
    expiry: '07/17',
    cvv: '123',
    name: 'First name'
  },
  method: ['POST'],
  headers: {
    'Host' => 'test.host.com',
    'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla Firefox',
    'Auth' => 'Basic Adnjefnef443nr4jh4h'
  }
}
vulnerabilities = API_Fuzzer.scan(options)

vulnerabilites is an array of vulnerability, each distinguished with impact type, title and description.

Above Ruby code can be painful for writing ruby script for each request. Fuzzapi is a rails application which integrates and bundles API_Fuzzer and brings UI changes to easily scan API endpoints.
