HeapViewer

License: GPL v3

An IDA Pro plugin to examine the heap, focused on exploit development.

Currently supports the glibc malloc implementation (ptmalloc2).

3rd place winner of the 2018 Hex-Rays Plugin Contest

Features

Install

Just drop the heap_viewer.py file and the heap_viewer folder into IDA's plugin directory.

To install just for the current user, copy the files into one of these directories:

OSPlugin path
Linux/macOS~/.idapro/plugins
Windows%AppData%\Hex-Rays\IDA Pro\plugins

Configuration

Currently the plugin does not require to be configured, since it tries to obtain automatically the necessary offsets to analyze the heap.

However, in case the plugin fails, it is possible to set the different offsets in the configuration tab. To obtain these offsets, you can use any of the tools located in the utils folder.

If you find any inconsistency, let me know :)

Special mention to my colleagues soez, wagiro and DiaLluvioso for give me some ideas during the development of the plugin. And of course, the @pwndbg project, from which I picked up some things about heap parsing.
