### Header Fuzzing
Header fuzzing is disabled by default due to the high number of false positives that occur with many
technology stacks. When header fuzzing is enabled, you must specify a list of headers to include in
fuzzing.
Each profile in the default configuration file has an entry for `GeneralFuzzingCheck`. This check
performs header fuzzing. Under the `Configuration` section, you must change the `HeaderFuzzing` and
`Headers` settings to enable header fuzzing.
This snippet shows the `Quick-10` profile's default configuration with header fuzzing disabled:
```yaml
- Name: Quick-10
DefaultProfile: Empty
Routes:
- Route: *Route0
Checks:
- Name: FormBodyFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
- Name: GeneralFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
HeaderFuzzing: false
Headers:
- Name: JsonFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
- Name: XmlFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
```
`HeaderFuzzing` is a boolean that turns header fuzzing on and off. The default setting is `false`
for off. To turn header fuzzing on, change this setting to `true`:
```yaml
- Name: GeneralFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
HeaderFuzzing: true
Headers:
```
`Headers` is a list of headers to fuzz. Only headers listed are fuzzed. For example, to fuzz a
custom header `X-Custom` used by your APIs, add an entry for it using the syntax
`- Name: HeaderName`, substituting `HeaderName` with the header to fuzz:
```yaml
- Name: GeneralFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
HeaderFuzzing: true
Headers:
- Name: X-Custom
```
You now have a configuration to fuzz the header `X-Custom`. Use the same notation to list additional
headers:
```yaml
- Name: GeneralFuzzingCheck
Configuration:
FuzzingCount: 10
UnicodeFuzzing: true
HeaderFuzzing: true
Headers:
- Name: X-Custom
- Name: X-AnotherHeader
```
Repeat this configuration for each profile as needed.
## Running your first scan
When configured correctly, a CI/CD pipeline contains a `Fuzz` stage and a `apifuzzer_fuzz` job. The
