Fuzzing

In computer security parlance, fuzzing is the art of automatic bug finding. This is done by providing an application with semi-valid input. The input should in most cases be good enough so applications will assume it's valid input, but at the same time be broken enough so that parsing done on this input will fail. Fuzzing is mostly used to uncover security bugs.

The fuzzer spent the afternoon fuzzing his company's parts ordering system to crack the application.

no cat

A wireless communication network.

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
