This project was originally developed in 2019 when I was still interested in writing binary exploits. However, please note that this repository is no longer actively maintained and may not reflect current best practices, technologies, or standards.
I wish to keep it because I believe it is a beautiful piece of code that leverages some lesser-known tricks within C semantics. I hope it can provide valuable insights to others.

This library implements a C version of the pwntools library for writing kernel exploits and creating exploits that require a high performance.
Functions are typically called by using provided namespaces like:
char *string = cstr.from_nstr("Hello");
For compilation of executables the flag -lcpwn is needed; if this library should be dynamically
linked, -lcpwndyn can be used. This only works when the library has been installed globally.
Documentation on all implemented modules can be built using Doxygen.
This can be done by invoking ./manage doc in the projects root directory.
To view it one can use ./manage opendocs which will start a python server bound to localhost on the port 5000. A webbrowser should open automatically.
The python server can be killed by invoking ./manage killdocserver.
The library can be installed on the system globally by invoking ./manage install.
To remove it from the system ./manage uninstall can be used.
This library has been tested on Arch Linux, Microsoft Windows 10 and OpenBSD, but might work on other systems as well.
