This can be done with `cargo-afl afl system-config` +but this requires root so it is run with sudo, hence you might need to enter +your password. + By default, the AFL++ [CMPLOG](https://github.com/AFLplusplus/AFLplusplus/blob/stable/instrumentation/README.cmplog.md) feature is activated, which helps to achieve good code coverage. However, it is not beneficial to activate CMPLOG on more than two instances.
