-# AFL "Life Pro Tips"
-
-Bite-sized advice for those who understand the basics, but can't be bothered
-to read or memorize every other piece of documentation for AFL.
-
-## Get more bang for your buck by using fuzzing dictionaries.
-
-See [dictionaries/README.md](../dictionaries/README.md) to learn how.
-
-## You can get the most out of your hardware by parallelizing AFL jobs.
-
-See [parallel_fuzzing.md](parallel_fuzzing.md) for step-by-step tips.
-
-## Improve the odds of spotting memory corruption bugs with libdislocator.so!
-
-It's easy. Consult [utils/libdislocator/README.md](../utils/libdislocator/README.md) for usage tips.
-
-## Want to understand how your target parses a particular input file?
-
-Try the bundled `afl-analyze` tool; it's got colors and all!
-
-## You can visually monitor the progress of your fuzzing jobs.
-
-Run the bundled `afl-plot` utility to generate browser-friendly graphs.
-
-## Need to monitor AFL jobs programmatically? 
-Check out the `fuzzer_stats` file in the AFL output dir or try `afl-whatsup`.
-
-## Puzzled by something showing up in red or purple in the AFL UI?
-It could be important - consult docs/status_screen.md right away!
-
-## Know your target? Convert it to persistent mode for a huge performance gain!
-Consult section #5 in README.llvm.md for tips.
-
-## Using clang? 
-Check out instrumentation/ for a faster alternative to afl-gcc!
-
-## Did you know that AFL can fuzz closed-source or cross-platform binaries?
-Check out qemu_mode/README.md and unicorn_mode/README.md for more.
-
-## Did you know that afl-fuzz can minimize any test case for you?
-Try the bundled `afl-tmin` tool - and get small repro files fast!
-
-## Not sure if a crash is exploitable? AFL can help you figure it out. Specify
-`-C` to enable the peruvian were-rabbit mode.
-
-## Trouble dealing with a machine uprising? Relax, we've all been there.
-
-Find essential survival tips at http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/prep/.
-
-## Want to automatically spot non-crashing memory handling bugs?
-
-Try running an AFL-generated corpus through ASAN, MSAN, or Valgrind.
-
-## Good selection of input files is critical to a successful fuzzing job.
-
-See docs/perf_tips.md for pro tips.
-
-## You can improve the odds of automatically spotting stack corruption issues.
-
-Specify `AFL_HARDEN=1` in the environment to enable hardening flags.
-
-## Bumping into problems with non-reproducible crashes? 
-It happens, but usually
-isn't hard to diagnose. See section #7 in README.md for tips.
-
-## Fuzzing is not just about memory corruption issues in the codebase. 
-Add some
-sanity-checking `assert()` / `abort()` statements to effortlessly catch logic bugs.
-
-## Hey kid... pssst... want to figure out how AFL really works?
-
-Check out docs/technical_details.md for all the gory details in one place!
-
-## There's a ton of third-party helper tools designed to work with AFL!
-
-Be sure to check out docs/sister_projects.md before writing your own.
-
-## Need to fuzz the command-line arguments of a particular program?
-
-You can find a simple solution in utils/argv_fuzzing.
-
-## Attacking a format that uses checksums? 
-
-Remove the checksum-checking code or use a postprocessor!
-See `afl_custom_post_process` in custom_mutators/examples/example.c for more.
