+# afl-proxy
+
+afl-proxy is an example skeleton file which can easily be used to fuzz
+and instrument non-standard things.
+
+You only need to change the while() loop of the main() to send the
+data of buf[] with length len to the target and write the coverage
+information to __afl_area_ptr[__afl_map_size]
