Merge #18342: doc: Add fuzzing quickstart guides for libFuzzer and afl-fuzz
33dd764984 doc: Add fuzzing quickstart guides for libFuzzer and afl-fuzz. Simplify instructions. (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Add fuzzing quickstart guide to make it trivial to start fuzzing Bitcoin Core.

  Fuzzing is fun and having more people contributing coverage-increasing inputs to https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets would be awesome :)

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
