Yea, fuzzing, that's what I was doing. I just didn't want to appear
to be too sophisticated by citing my use of advanced digital testing
methodologies. I thought it might go over everyone's head. And, of
course, instead of using the more traditional structured queues of
fuzzy data, I wrote a real-time midi random event fuzzing generator.
Now, of course, the use of fuzzing is controversial because of invalid
input data. However, I wanted to ensure that the MOTM-650 would
withstand a midi data stream security attack. You can rest assured
that your MOTM-650 is being subjected to the most advanced and
rigorous testing methodologies and the result will be advanced
security in hostile midi environments. Yea, that's what I was doing.
