# KillaBoi/StealMyBitcoin-PoC

> 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-26 (UTC), 02:16–05:41: 126 → 284 stars (+158). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +443 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 284 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #56.
- Hacker News: “Steal My Bitcoin CTF PoC” — 58 points, 5 h ago.
- About 158 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 48
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 366 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 42

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-25 … 2026-10-26: 290, 158

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
