BeeBug : A tool for checking Exploitability

BeeBug is a tool that can be used to verify if a program crash could be exploitable. This tool was presented the first time at r2con 2018 in Barcelona. Some implemented functionality are:

  • Stack overflow on libc
  • Crash on Program Counter
  • Crash on branch
  • Crash on write memory
  • Heap vulnerabilities
  • Read access violation (some exploitable cases)
  • Help to analyse a crash (graph view)

  • graphviz
  • pyqtgraph
