+# Fuzzing
+
+This directory contains code and test data for fuzz testing h2o with LLVM's [LibFuzzer](http://libfuzzer.info).
+
+## Building the test drivers
+
+To build the fuzz test drivers, pass `-DBUILD_FUZZER=ON` to `cmake`. This this will instrument `libh2o`, and build fuzz test driver programs for both HTTP/1 and HTTP/2: `h2o-fuzzer-http1` and
+ `h2o-fuzzer-http2`, respectively. Note that you must have a version of LLVM Clang installed that supports LibFuzzer in order for this build to succeed.
+
+## Test corpus information
+
+The test corpuses included in this were initially created by first patching h2o with the included `fuzz/gather-data.patch` and then running the unit tests. The corpuses were then broadened via fuzzing with this fuzzer and minimized. See the [LibFuzzer docs](http://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html) for more information on how minimization works.
+
+## Submitting new seed files
+
+This project welcomes seed files that exercise new paths in the target programs. Before submitting new seed files, please ensure they add coverage to the existing corpus via the driver `-merge` flag. For example:
+
+```
+$ ./h2o-fuzzer-http2 -max_len=$((16 * 1024 )) -merge=1 ./fuzz/http2-corpus ./fuzz/my-new-seeds
+```
+
+Over time, various factors may affect the coverage that a given seed file exercises so it may also be worthwhile to re-minimize the resulting corpus periodically:
+
+```
+$ ./h2o-fuzzer-http2 -max_len=$((16 * 1024 )) -merge=1 ./fuzz/http2-corpus.fresh ./fuzz/http2-corpus
+$ cp ./fuzz/http2-corpus.fresh/* ./fuzz/http2-corpus
+```
+
+## Running the fuzzers
+
+You will likely want to tailor fuzzer options to your execution environment, but here are basic examples of running each fuzzer:
+
+HTTP/1: `ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 ./h2o-fuzzer-http1 -max_len=$((16 * 1024 )) -dict=fuzz/http.dict=fuzz/http1-corpus`
+
+HTTP/2: `ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 ./h2o-fuzzer-http2 -max_len=$((16 * 1024 )) -dict=fuzz/http.dict=fuzz/http2-corpus`
+
+The fuzzer looks at `H2O_FUZZER_CLIENT_TIMEOUT` in order to configure the
+client thread event loop timeout in milli-seconds. It defaults to 10 ms.
