Information/Memory Leaks In Binary Exploitation What is a memory leak? A information/memory leak is any primitive in a binary that reveals bytes from the program’s memory such as addresses, pointe...

Facing a gadget-poor binary? This post reveals how gets() can be your ultimate ROP primitive. By understanding how gets() reuses the existing RDI value from the vulnerable buffer, we can craft precise chains that set up function arguments and leak libc addresses without traditional gadgets.

Understanding Tcache Thread Local Caching (Tcache) is a set of bins, organised as singly-linked lists, that are local to each thread. Tcache was made to avoid the need to lock a global arena for f...
