how to update TriforceAFL with lasted AFL fuzzer?

Hi, timnewsham, how to update TriforceAFL with lasted AFL fuzzer? can you give some advice?

We tried to organize our public git repo so that changes to AFL and QEMU would be easily apparent, and could be merged into AFL (if desired by the AFL maintainers). That didn't happen, but it still may be useful to you or other people looking to continue working on the codebase.

To see the changes made to QEMU, clone the repo, and then run:
• git diff a567f4 qemu_mode/qemu to see all changes to stock QEMU.
• git diff 4c01f8 qemu_mode/qemu to see all changes made to AFL's version of QEMU.
• git diff df9132 [a-pr-z]* to see all changes to AFL's sources.

This may help you in seeing how to port changes to newer versions of AFL. I will not be working on this project anymore, but @timnewsham may still be in his spare time, so if you trick him (my favorite strategy is insisting it would be difficult), he may get interested in updating this to work with a newer version of AFL.

You also may want to checkout some of the newer approaches inspired by our project, such as kAFL and afl-unicorn, as those may be more likely to not end up being abandonware.

Happy Hacking,
