Similar corpora will get accumulated over time depending on the number of cpu cycles that original fuzz target has run. If this is not desirable, make sure to copy the accumulated corpora from the original fuzz target (instructions to download [here](corpora.md#downloading-the-corpus)) and restore it to the new GCS location later (instruction to find the new location [here](corpora.md#viewing-the-corpus-for-a-fuzz-target)). + ## Does OSS-Fuzz support AFL? OSS-Fuzz *uses* [AFL](http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/) as one of its [fuzzing engines](glossary.md#fuzzing-engine) but this is an implementation detail. Just follow the [ideal integration guide](ideal_integration.md) and OSS-Fuzz will use all its fuzzing engines on your code.
