# custum mutator: symcc This uses the excellent symcc to find new paths into the target. To use this custom mutator follow the steps in the symcc repository [https://github.com/eurecom-s3/symcc/](https://github.com/eurecom-s3/symcc/) on how to build symcc and how to instrument a target binary (the same target that you are fuzzing). The target program compiled with symcc has to be pointed to with the `SYMCC_TARGET` environment variable. just type `make` to build this custom mutator. ```SYMCC_TARGET=/prg/to/symcc/compiled/target AFL_CUSTOM_MUTATOR_LIBRARY=custom_mutators/symcc/symcc-mutator.so afl-fuzz ...```
