About the project

A single-file Python proof of concept reproducing a PHP 8.4.26 memory-exhaustion exploit chain: leaks heap and code addresses via session cookies, then forges a HashTable to reach zif_system and run a command.

Useful for
  • Reproduce the CTF chain locally in a Docker lab with Alpine PHP 8.4.26
  • Check whether a PHP build matches the expected code-pointer fingerprint
  • Study PHP worker reuse and session upload-progress memory handling

7.5 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 26, 2026, 05:10 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0150300October 25, 2026October 26, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-26 (UTC), 02:16–05:00: 126 → 257 stars (+131). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +396 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 257 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #62.
  • Hacker News: “Steal My Bitcoin CTF PoC” — 48 points, 4 h ago.
  • About 165 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
