## Features ## Features
- No obscure dependencies, no painful setup process - just a single, self-contained binary
- Using DEFLATE compression format (see [RFC 1951](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.html)) - Using DEFLATE compression format (see [RFC 1951](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.html))

### Quickstart ### Quickstart
- On your host 10.0.0.1: `./afl-transmit --fuzzer-directory /ram/output --main --peers 10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3` Let's assume you have three servers running with some instances of AFL, all in secondary (`-S`) mode, except the main fuzzer running on the box 10.0.0.1.
- On your host 10.0.0.2: `./afl-transmit --fuzzer-directory /ram/output --peers 10.0.0.1` To sync test cases across those servers, you'd need to run
