+Clifford Wolf's [VlogHammer](http://www.clifford.at/yosys/vloghammer.html) is an
+existing Verilog fuzzer that generates random Verilog expressions. It was the
+inspiration for the general structure of this fuzzer, which extends the fuzzing
+to the behavioural parts of Verilog.
+
+Tom Hawkins' Verilog parser was used to write the lexer, the parser was then
+rewritten using [Parsec](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsec).
