Heappy: a happy heap editor

Heappy is an editor based on gdb/gef that helps you to handle the heap during your exploitation development.
The project should be considered a didactic tool useful to understand the evolution of the heap during the process life cycle. It has been created to simplify the study of the most common heap exploitation techniques and to support you to solve some binary exploitation CTFs related to this fantastic topic.

Main features

This is what Heappy implements:
✅ take heap snapshots and compare them each other
✅ recognize immediately type and fields of heap bins
✅ search and edit heap values by decimal, hex, or string
✅ find yourself with the panoramic view of the heap status
✅ take notes about a cell in the comment column
✅ enjoy the light and dark mode
