how2heap is an educational resource and technical testbed for learning heap-based vulnerabilities and memory allocator internals. It provides a collection of source code examples and binaries that serve as a laboratory for studying memory corruption techniques specifically targeting the glibc malloc implementation. The project focuses on the development of exploit primitives, such as tcache poisoning and double frees, to redirect program execution. It includes a suite of implementations for bypassing memory protections and manipulating heap metadata to achieve arbitrary memory writes. The fr
Demonstrates how to overwrite internal allocator structures such as chunk sizes and forward pointers for memory access.
