This is actually a really useful standalone tool. We should get some docs.

Another question that docs should answer (besides usage): What's the difference to python-afl?

zardus commented 8 years ago

All this should probably go into a README.md (PRs welcome!), but:

AFL is American Fuzzy Lop (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). It is a code coverage-based fuzzer developed by lcamtuf, and is probably the best fuzzer out there today. It was used as the basis for the bug finding of at least 5 of the Cyber Reasoning Systems in the CGC.
python-afl is a way to fuzz Python code and look for errors. This module, instead, is a Python "API" wrapper for AFL, to analyze binaries.

Hello: I'd like to pitch in for doc help. To start, what are you looking for in doc help?

svbar commented 5 years ago

yes documentation will be really helpful.

for example in afl-fuzz we have -o for output directory .. What is the equivalent switch for output directory in shellphuzz ??
