+## Fuzzers
+
+To run a fuzzer locally, you need [go-fuzz](https://github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz) installed. 
+
+First build a fuzzing-binary out of the selected package:
+
+```
+(cd ./rlp && CGO_ENABLED=0 go-fuzz-build .)
+```
+That command should generate a `rlp-fuzz.zip` in the `rlp/` directory. If you are already in that directory, you can do
+
+```
+[user@work rlp]$ go-fuzz

+
+```
+Otherwise: 
+```
+go-fuzz -bin ./rlp/rlp-fuzz.zip
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+Once a 'crasher' is found, the fuzzer tries to avoid reporting the same vector twice, so stores the fault in the `suppressions` folder. Thus, if you 
+e.g. make changes to fix a bug, you should _remove_ all data from the `suppressions`-folder, to verify that the issue is indeed resolved. 
+
+Also, if you have only one and the same exit-point for multiple different types of test, the suppression can make the fuzzer hide differnent types of errors. So make 
+sure that each type of failure is unique (for an example, see the rlp fuzzer, where a counter `i` is used to differentiate between failures: 
+
+```golang
+		if !bytes.Equal(input, output) {
+			panic(fmt.Sprintf("case %d: encode-decode is not equal, \ninput : %x\noutput: %x", i, input, output))
+		}
+```
