Set `export AFL_SKIP_CPUFREQ=1` for afl-fuzz to skip this check if you cannot
run afl-system-config with root privileges on the host for whatever reason.
Note there is also `sudo afl-persistent-config` which sets additional permanent
boot options for a much better fuzzing performance.
Note that both scripts improve your fuzzing performance but also decrease your
system protection against attacks! So set strong firewall rules and only
expose SSH as a network service if you use these (which is highly recommended).
If you have an input corpus from step 2 then specify this directory with the `-i`
option. Otherwise create a new directory and create a file with any content
as test data in there.
