One scheduler might focus on long paths, +another on rarity of edges disocvered, still another on a combination on +things. Some of the schedulers in afl++ have to be ported, but you are free +to come up with your own if you want to - and see how it performs. + +## Forkserver support for libaflrs + +The current libaflrs implementation fuzzes in-memory, however obviously we +want to support afl instrumented binaries as well. +Hence a forkserver support needs to be implemented - forking off the target +and talking to the target via a socketpair and the communication protocol +within. + +## More Observers for libaflrs + +An observer is measuring functionality that looks at the target being fuzzed +and documents something about it. In traditional fuzzing this is the coverage +in the target, however we want to add various more observers, e.g. stack depth, +heap usage, etc. - this is a topic for an experienced Rust developer. + +# Generic ideas and wishlist - NOT PART OF GSoC 2021 ! + +The below list is not part of GSoC 2021. + ## Analysis software Currently analysis is done by using afl-plot, which is rather outdated. |
