+## fuzz-walker
+
+A simple filesystem walker to poke around system paths and cause the system to invalidate or crash.
+
+### Building
+
+While you can `go get` the fuzz-walker binary itself, the walker functions are in plugins.
+The easiest way to get started is by cloning this repo and running `make`.
+
+### running
+
+I reckon you could run this on your host, but it's intended to push the bounds of what's allowed inside a container.
