## Running Fuzzers Locally

### Direct Execution of Fuzz Targets

-For quick testing of changes, [Atheris][atheris-repo] makes it possible to execute a fuzz target directly:

-1. Install Atheris following the [installation guide][atheris-repo] for your operating system.
-2. Execute a fuzz target, for example:

```shell
-python fuzzing/fuzz-targets/fuzz_config.py
```

### Running OSS-Fuzz Locally

This approach uses Docker images provided by OSS-Fuzz for building and running fuzz tests locally. It offers
