From blind wordlists to context-driven security testing

Most fuzzers haven’t really changed in years.
You pick a wordlist.
You fire thousands of requests.
You filter responses.
You manually figure out what actually matters.
It works. But it’s inefficient.
After years in bug bounty and building security tooling, I kept running into the same problem:
- too much noise
- not enough context
- too many manual decisions
At some point, the bottleneck isn’t speed anymore. It’s how you approach the target.
So I started building my own tool.
From Side Project to Something Useful
PSFuzz didn’t start with a big vision. It started with a simple idea:
“build a fast, minimal web fuzzer in Go that I fully control”
Classic stuff: directories, endpoints, status codes
Nothing fancy.
But very quickly, one thing became obvious:
Finding endpoints is easy. Understanding them is not.
