+# Fuzzer for `specctra-core`
+
+This fuzzer uses [`cargo-fuzz`](https://rust-fuzz.github.io/book/cargo-fuzz/tutorial.html).
+It requires nightly rust to run, and can e.g. be invoked via `cargo fuzz run fuzz_target_1`.
+
+Initialize the corpus via e.g.:
+```
+mkdir -p corpus/fuzz_target_1
+cp -t corpus/fuzz_target_1 $(find ../../../tests | grep \\.dsn)
+```
+before invoking the fuzzer in order to provide the fuzzing with information how
+input should normally look like.
