AFL (American Fuzzy Lop)

American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) is a security tool used to find vulnerabilities in software. It works by automatically testing programs with many different, randomly generated input data to see if they crash or behave unexpectedly. This process helps identify bugs that could be exploited by hackers. AFL is efficient because it learns from past tests, focusing on promising areas to discover issues faster. Developers use AFL to improve software security, ensuring applications are more robust and resistant to attacks.
