Hi Author,

I getting below error on trying to AFL.

[-] The program took more than 1000 ms to process one of the initial test cases.
This is bad news; raising the limit with the -t option is possible, but
will probably make the fuzzing process extremely slow.

If this test case is just a fluke, the other option is to just avoid it
altogether, and find one that is less of a CPU hog.

Hi. I cannot debug any of this without knowing more about the program or input. Does the tutorial work for you? If yes, it is likely not an issue with JQF.

I would recommend using the Maven plugin to fuzz via mvn jqf:fuzz instead of using the AFL interface, as it is much more stable and regularly maintained.
