If you want to disable fast snapshots (except for crashes), you can simply set
|
||||
the `NYX_DISABLE_SNAPSHOT_MODE` environment variable.

|

### Nyx crash reports
|
||||
|
||||
If the Nyx agent detects a crash in the target application, it can pass
|
||||
additional information on that crash to AFL++ (assuming that the agent
|
||||
implements this feature). For each saved crashing input AFL++ will also create
|
||||
an additional file in the `crashes` directory with a `.log` file extension.
|
||||
Crash reports generated by the default agent shipped with the Nyx packer will
|
||||
contain information such as the faulting address and signal number.
|
||||
Additionally, if the target is compiled with AddressSanitizer, the crash report
|
||||
will also contain the entire ASan report.
|
||||
|
||||
From a technical perspective, the crash report is passed from QEMU-Nyx to AFL++
|
||||
via a shared memory region called Nyx Auxiliary Buffer which is by default 4096
|
||||
bytes in size. In this shared memory region a specific amount is reserved for
|
||||
the header (1408 bytes) and the remaining bytes can be used to transfer crash
|
||||
reports (also the `hprintf` feature utilizes the very same shared memory for
|
||||
transferring data). By default a crash report will be truncated to 2688 bytes.
|
||||
However, if you want to increase the size of the shared memory region, you can
|
||||
set the `NYX_AUX_BUFFER_SIZE` environment variable to a higher value (keep in
|
||||
mind that this value must be a multiple of 4096).
