What is it?

A poor rewrite of my PwnLib DLL in modern C++, battery-included pwn kit for Windows (and a bit for Linux).

Why?

Because:

  • I wanted a quick way to bootstrap my low-level experiments
  • it's unacceptable to struggle to disassemble code, to cross-compile your exploit or simply to have hexdump-like function
  • only C/C++ provides the real right way to write assembly code
  • modern C++ allows to do crazy useful offsec stuff, completely underused
  • I like writing code

The idea is to provide in C on Windows the same kind of functionalities than pwntools does in Python on Linux. It's also a toy library meant for exploring Windows in a more friendly way. So if you're looking for years of poorly written C++ tangled with performant inefficient ways to experiment low-level, go no further friend this library is for you.

Note: the original PwnLib was written around Windows 7 for feature testing. This is 100% Windows 10/11 focused, so expect things to go wrong if you use any other Windows version. Some stuff may also go wrong in x86. Better use 64. It's not a bug but a design choice 😋
