I'm setting it up right now. If I fail, I'd be happy to look at the
notes. Based on the instructions it seems to be as you say, straightforward.

Start fuzzing at all is really what I think we should aim for at this
point. I've used AFL before and will look at using it for cryptech. The
big benifit of OSS-Fuzz as I see it is the significant amount of
non-artificial intelligence doing analysis of findings.


Good comments, thanks!
