AFL++ Fuzzing — API Reference

Installation

apt install afl++                    # Ubuntu/Debian
# Or build from source:
git clone https://github.com/AFLplusplus/AFLplusplus && cd AFLplusplus && make all

AFL++ CLI Tools

Tool Description
afl-cc / afl-clang-fast Compile-time instrumentation compiler wrapper
afl-fuzz Main fuzzer — coverage-guided mutation engine
afl-cmin Corpus minimization — remove redundant seeds
afl-tmin Test case minimization — shrink individual inputs
afl-whatsup Multi-instance campaign status summary
afl-plot Generate fuzzing progress plots
afl-showmap Display coverage map for a single input

afl-fuzz Key Flags

Flag Description
-i <dir> Input seed corpus directory
-o <dir> Output directory for findings
-m <MB> Memory limit (use none for ASAN)
-t <ms> Execution timeout per test case
-x <dict> Optional fuzzing dictionary
-p <sched> Power schedule: fast, coe, explore, rare, mmopt
-l <level> CMPLOG instrumentation level (2=transforms, 3=all)
-c <bin> CMPLOG binary for input-to-state
-M <name> Main fuzzer instance (parallel mode)
-S <name> Secondary fuzzer instance (parallel mode)
-Q QEMU mode (binary-only fuzzing)
-U Unicorn mode

fuzzer_stats File Fields

Field Description
execs_done Total executions completed
execs_per_sec Current execution speed
corpus_count Total paths in corpus
saved_crashes Unique crashes discovered
saved_hangs Unique hangs discovered
stability Execution stability percentage
bitmap_cvg Code coverage bitmap density

Crash Triage Tools

Tool Purpose
casr-afl CASR crash severity analysis for AFL++
afl-tmin Minimize crash inputs
gdb --batch -ex run Reproduce crash under debugger
