A hands-on guide to coverage-guided fuzzing with AFL++: building instrumented targets, writing harnesses, and driving the Linux kernel under a local syscall fuzzer without cloud infrastructure.

Menu-driven heap challenges are stateful, so a raw byte fuzzer bounces off them. This guide builds a vulnerable heap note manager, then writes a structure-aware AFL++ harness that turns the fuzzer's bytes into menu operations and finds the bug for you.
