This is a continuation of the HeapLAB Part 1 course, a.k.a Linux Heap Exploitation - Part 1.

If you haven't taken the above course, I highly recommend you do so before embarking on this one.

HeapLAB Part 2 is the same hands-on, practical heap exploitation, just with more new techniques for you to learn!

We're covering some more Houses, including the rather complex House of Rabbit and the oldschool House of Spirit. If you didn't break a sweat during Part 1's One-Byte challenge, in which we exploited a single byte overflow, I've built a single null-byte overflow challenge for you to test your skills against. We'll also be learning about the tcache, the Tcache Dup technique, some more obscure malloc internals such as the glibc tunables, and plenty more besides. Check out the primary learning objectives for further details.

If you already have an exploit development environment set up from Part 1, you'll be able to start right away. Hack the planet!

You can stop reading now, this part is only here because Udemy seem to think their time is best spent enforcing arbitrary limits on the length of course descriptions and telling us we can't have text in our course images rather than improving their appalling instructor experience.
