It does! Fuzzing actually started off as a tool built by security researchers to find vulnerabilities in parsers, and other complex codebases, usually written in C/C++ (looking for memory bugs). So anything that deals with untrusted binary data is a prime candidate for fuzz testing.

Go’s fuzzing framework supports `[]byte` arguments as well as all of the standard Go primitives, so you should be able to test netcode this way.

If you're looking for a C/C++ solution, my recommendation is libfuzzer [0]. We've also built our own C/C++ fuzzing engine at Fuzzbuzz [1].
