Bug#786806: RFA: afl -- instrumentation-driven fuzzer for binary formats

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the afl package. (Note that RFA != O. Talk to 
me before taking over this package.)

The package description is:

American fuzzy lop is a fuzzer that employs compile-time instrumentation 
and genetic algorithms to automatically discover clean, interesting test 
cases that trigger new internal states in the targeted binary. This 
substantially improves the functional coverage for the fuzzed code. The 
compact synthesized corpora produced by the tool are also useful for 
seeding other, more labor- or resource-intensive testing regimes down 
the road.

afl-fuzz is designed to be practical: it has modest performance 
overhead, uses a variety of highly effective fuzzing strategies, 
requires essentially no configuration, and seamlessly handles complex, 
real-world use cases - say, common image parsing or file compression 
libraries.
