Fuzzing with Tempest is something that was discussed at the last summit, I think Rackspace had some interesting work that wanted to share but I might be miss-remembering.

One of the issues is that unless you’re looking with issues in the python libraries used for handling the APIs (which would be interesting to find) message/protocol fuzzing is pretty limited, instead we need something that really understands the API to perform fuzzing to find things that logically shouldn’t be allowed to happen – many of these will be broken state issues.

Subject: [Openstack-security] [security] [QA] Do we have security tests suite for OpenStack components?

Hi team,
Looks like we are using Bandit framework [1] for static analysis of code of different OpenStack components, but I can't find some integration security tests for OpenStack components. Do we have some additional open-source test framework / tests suite for security testing of OpenStack components?
I found the blueprint in Tempest about fuzzy testing [2], so, we can start to develop some security tests in Tempest and use them to perform security testing on the integration level and also to validate some security bug fixes.
Do we have some list with scenarios, which we can cover with fuzzing tests in Tempest? We can start from some tests which will validate fixed security issues, it will be really helpful if you can share some ideas about tests, which we have to create.

Thank you!
