What it is

AFL is a coverage-guided fuzzer aimed primarily at C/C++ binaries via compile-time instrumentation (e.g. afl-gcc / afl-clang / LLVM modes) and the afl-fuzz driver. The published material on this site includes the original project narrative, quick-start style guidance, status screen semantics, and performance / tuning notes that many tutorials still cite.

Typical mental model for readers:

Topic Role
Instrumentation Rebuild the target with AFL’s compilers/wrappers so edges are tracked.
Corpus & seeds Start from small valid inputs; AFL mutates and discovers new paths.
Fuzzing loop afl-fuzz runs; UI shows paths, crashes, hangs, stability—interpret per upstream docs.
