### RetroWrite
-If you have an x86_64 binary that still has its symbols (i.e., not stripped binary), is compiled with
-position independent code (PIC/PIE), and does not contain C++ exceptions,
+RetroWrite is a static binary rewriter that can be combined with AFL++.
+If you have an x86_64 binary that still has its symbols (i.e., not stripped binary),
+is compiled with position independent code (PIC/PIE), and does not contain C++ exceptions,
then the RetroWrite solution might be for you. It decompiles to ASM files which
can then be instrumented with afl-gcc.
-It is at about 80-85% performance.
+Binaries that are statically instrumented for fuzzing using RetroWrite are identical
+in performance to compiler-instrumented binaries and outperform
+the QEMU-based instrumentation by 4.5x.
