+Speeding up fuzzing:
+ * [libfiowrapper](https://github.com/marekzmyslowski/libfiowrapper) - if you cannot use stdin or in-memory fuzzing, this emulates file reading, recommended.

 Minimization of test cases:
  * [afl-pytmin](https://github.com/ilsani/afl-pytmin) - a wrapper for afl-tmin that tries to speed up the process of minimization of a single test case by using many CPU cores.

+## CI Fuzzing
+
+Some notes on CI Fuzzing - this fuzzing is different to normal fuzzing
+campaigns as these are much shorter runnings.
+
+1. Always:
+  * LTO has a much longer compile time which is diametrical to short fuzzing - 
+    hence use afl-clang-fast instead
+  * `AFL_FAST_CAL` - Enable fast calibration, halfs the time the saturated
+     corpus is loaded
+  * `AFL_CMPLOG_ONLY_NEW` - only perform cmplog on new found paths, not the
+    initial corpus as it has been done there already
+  * Keep the generated corpus, use afl-cmin and reuse it everytime!
+
+2. Additionally randomize the afl++ compilation options, e.g.
+  * 40% for `AFL_LLVM_CMPLOG`
+  * 10% for `AFL_LLVM_LAF_ALL`
+
+3. Also randomize the afl-fuzz runtime options, e.g.
+  * 60% for `AFL_DISABLE_TRIM`
+  * 50% use a dictionary generated by `AFL_LLVM_DICT2FILE`
+  * 50% use MOpt (`-L 0`)
+  * 40% for `AFL_EXPAND_HAVOC_NOW`
+  * 30% for old queue processing (`-Z`)
+  * for CMPLOG targets, 60% for `-l 2`, 40% for `-l 3`
+
+4. Do *not* run any `-M` modes, just running `-S` modes are better for CI fuzzing.
