Post Memory Corruption Memory Analysis

Automating exploitation of invalid memory writes



Pmcma is a tool aimed at automating the most time consuming taskes of exploitation. It for instance determine why an application is triggering a segmentention fault, evaluate if the faulting instruction can be used to write to memory or execute arbitrary code, and list all the function pointers potentially called from a given point in time by an application.

Pmcma is a totally new kind of debugger, which allows for easy experimentation with a process in memory by forcing it to fork. The exact replicas of the process created in memory can then be intrumented while keeping the properties (eg: state of variables, ASLR, permissions…) of the original process.

Pmcma is an easily extensible framework available under the Apache 2.0 license from http://www.pmcma.org/ .
