Summary
RSAFL is a new method for testing communication protocols (sets of rules that allow different systems to talk to each other) by using runtime state data (information about what the protocol is doing at any moment) to guide fuzzing (a testing technique where you send random or malformed data to find bugs). This approach helps security researchers discover vulnerabilities in protocol implementations more efficiently than traditional fuzzing methods.
