afl.rs is a Cargo subcommand that lets you fuzz test Rust code with AFLplusplus, the coverage-guided fuzzer. It instruments Rust builds so AFLplusplus can find crashes and security issues in Rust programs.

Use cases

  • fuzz test my rust crate for crashes
  • find security vulnerabilities in rust code with afl
  • run coverage-guided fuzzing on a rust binary
  • discover panics in rust parsers with random input
  • set up continuous fuzzing for a rust project

When to choose

  • you want to fuzz Rust code with AFLplusplus's mature coverage-guided engine
  • you prefer a simple cargo-integrated fuzzing workflow
  • you want CMPLOG and other AFL++ features on Rust targets

When to avoid

  • you need structure-aware fuzzing with libFuzzer-style custom mutators (consider cargo-fuzz instead)
  • you are fuzzing non-Rust code
  • you need Windows support, which is not a primary target
