Grinder Version 0.3 released

Grinder is a system to automate the fuzzing of web browsers and the management of a large number of crashes. Grinder Nodes provide an automated way to fuzz a browser, and generate useful crash information (such as call stacks with symbol information as well as logging information which can be used to generate reproducible test cases at a later stage).

A Grinder Server provides a central location to collate crashes and, through a web interface, allows multiple users to login and manage all the crashes being generated by all of the Grinder Nodes.

Changelog Version 0.3 2012

Server

Added a Fuzzer tab to allow users to view statistics (bar charts) about the fuzzers that have been run in the system. You can also drill down in to individual fuzzers to view what targets they are generating crashes on. Added bar chart support via jqPlot.
Added a Settings tab. Moved the user account management features from the System tab into this new Settings tab.

Node

Add in initial work for automated testcase reduction via .\node\reduction.rb
Added IE10 support (As seen in Windows 8 Consumer Preview) (grinder\node\browser\internetexplorer.rb).
Added a --fuzzer parameter to grinder.rb. When bringing up a node you can now specify a single fuzzer to load instead of loading all the fuzzers in the nodes fuzzer directory. Usefull for testing a specific fuzzer (e.g. >ruby grinder.rb --fuzzer=DOMBlaster2000 FF)
Added a --help and --version parameter to grinder.rb and testcase.rb.
grinder_logger.dll is now thread safe and can handle log messages of an arbitrary size.
Changed the server.rb 301 reditect to a 307 temporary redirect.
Many small bug fixes!
