My output keeps showing a timeout about winafl HOT 8 CLOSED

The timeout error isn't necessarily a timeout, it can also be received due to incorrect parameters, such as is likely the case here. For example

• you use both -Y flag for static instrumentation and -D for Dynamorio instrumentation. You should only use one. I actually recommend using TinyInst instrumentation for first-time users. You can see examples at https://github.com/googleprojectzero/winafl/blob/master/readme_tinyinst.md (note that some flags have different names in TinyInst and other modes)
• You are missing a -target_method flag.

this is my new command, but it still doesn't work, and yes I prefer using -Y afl-fuzz -i C:\Users\andye\Desktop\inputs -o C:\Users\andye\Desktop\output -t 25000+ -Y -- -target_method main -fuzz_iterations 5000 -covtype edge -nargs 1 -target_module example.exe -- example.exe @@

For -Y (static instrumentation) please read https://github.com/googleprojectzero/winafl/blob/master/readme_syzygy.md Did you successfully prepare and instrument your target as described in that readme?

Nevermind, it requires me to switch to 32 bit because it only supports that, if I use DynamoRIO, do I need to implement anything? Or as it suggests it can do it in real time

from winafl.

Both DynamoRIO and TinyInst are dynamic binary instrumentation solutions that instrument the target as it runs and support both 32- and 64- bit targets.

Do you know what this assert failure means? And yeah if ask about my code implementation it is this one
and this is the command I used = afl-fuzz -i C:\Users\andye\Desktop\inputs -o C:\Users\andye\Desktop\output -t 25000+ -D C:\Users\andye\Desktop\DynamoRIO\bin64 -- -target_method main -fuzz_iterations 5000 -covtype edge -nargs 1 -target_module example.exe -- example.exe @@

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
    std::string userInput;

    // Prompting user for input
    std::cout << "Enter something: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, userInput); // Allowing spaces in input

    // Printing the input
    std::cout << "You entered: " << userInput << std::endl;

    return 0;

can someone give me a step by step i'm actually lost, like based on my code can someone compile it and show me how it's done?

Nevermind I just copied the exact command of another person and adapted it to my file and it works fine now
