description: README 

This directory contains files related to fuzzing, coverage analysis, and setup, organized into two sections: Code/Tools/Environment and Results.

Code, Tools, and Environment

1. fuzzingML-main.zip     - Contains the source code for the tool, a fuzzer based on machine learning techniques.

2. afl_scriptsNseeds4CrashBaseTest.tar.gz   - Includes scripts and seed files required to start the fuzzing process.

3. m510_setup.tar.gz     - The complete fuzzing environment as it was tarred from the `m510` machine.

   - Setup all in /opt/ and run AFL++ in hot-storage for `m510` machine.

4. Build_cov_env_cpython_scripts.tat.gz    - Scripts to build on your own machine 5-6 parts for coverage.5. cpython-wth-mlighter.tar.gz     - Instrumented version of CPython with `gcov` for coverage analysis, along with installed `sklearn` version 1.6.0. Seed test_916698062 was tested with `sklearn` version 1.5.2 due to a change of function interface.   - To restore the installation of Mlighter util, you will need to run:

cd /users/user42/cpython/install/usr/local/bin
./../lib/mlighter/mlighter/utils/install.sh

6. coverage_env_wt_gfauto.tar.gz     - The coverage environment prepared and tarred, containing the instrumented CPython setup.

   - Packages installed for Coverage machine:

gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0

and in general on the machine:

Results

1. Results_AFL_crashTesting_24h_31sets_N_12days_1set.tar.gz     - Results from the fuzzing process, covering 24-hour runs with 31 sets across 12 days.

2. Results of Coverage:     - Coverage of the C/C++ part of the Cpython compiler:

       - Part 1: coverage_till_8.tar.gz (9 out of the 11 seeds)

       - Part 2: **TODO**       

   -**TODO** (Coverage results to be added once available).

Usage Overview

- Fuzzing Setup:  - Use `fuzzingML-main.zip` for the fuzzer implementation.  - Extract `afl_scriptsNseeds4CrashBaseTest.tar.gz` to get the necessary scripts and seed files for fuzzing.

- Environment:  - The fuzzing environment is packaged in `m510_setup.tar.gz`. Extract this to replicate the setup on the `m510` machine.

- Coverage Analysis:  - Use `cpython-wth-mlighter.tar.gz` for the CPython setup instrumented with `gcov`.  - The coverage environment is stored in `coverage_env_wt_gfauto.tar.gz`.
