Error parsing afl recorded crashing command

[zuBux]

Hi,

I tried using cwtriage with the -afl option but I kept getting the same error :

Couldn't parse AFL commandline in crashes/README.txt

This error is triggered because in AFL 1.96b (probably in older versions too) README.txt does not contain the '--' sequence in the recorded command line (like the example you provide in crashwalk:464). crashwalk.go:479 looks for the '--' sub-string in order to split the command line in two parts but is unable to find it.

As far as I know, the only reason README.txt doesn't contain the command separator (--) is because the command wasn't entered with it. If that's the case, the easiest solution is not to do that. Enter your afl-fuzz (or afl-launch) command like afl-fuzz -blah -blah -blah -- /path/to/target -opts -here @@ If you think that AFL changed in 1.96b to actively remove the separator from the afl-fuzz command (which seems weird) then let me know.

I don't know if I will try to add parsing to cope with commands that don't contain a separator - it's annoying and requires matching C getopt behaviour...

I see, thanks for the clarification. You might want to add this detail (the need for the command seperator --) in your README to avoid future duplicates of this issue :)
