Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.00493 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00246 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
analyzing-heap-spray-exploitation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
95% identical to analyzing-heap-spray-exploitation — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Analyzing Heap Spray Exploitation
Overview
Heap spraying is an exploitation technique that fills large regions of a process's heap with attacker-controlled data (typically NOP sleds followed by shellcode) to increase the reliability of code execution exploits. This skill covers detecting heap spray artifacts in memory dumps using Volatility3's malfind, vadinfo, and memmap plugins, identifying suspicious contiguous memory allocations, scanning for NOP sled patterns (0x90, 0x0c0c0c0c), and extracting embedded shellcode for analysis.
When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing heap spray exploitation
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ with
volatility3framework installed - Memory dump file (.raw, .vmem, .dmp format)
- Understanding of virtual memory layout and VAD (Virtual Address Descriptor) trees
- Familiarity with common shellcode patterns and NOP sled encodings
Steps
Step 1: Identify Suspicious Processes
Use Volatility3 windows.malfind to scan for processes with executable injected memory regions.
Step 2: Analyze VAD Entries
Examine VAD tree entries using windows.vadinfo for large contiguous allocations with RWX permissions.
Step 3: Scan for NOP Sled Patterns
Search suspicious memory regions for NOP sled signatures (0x90 sequences, 0x0c0c0c0c patterns).
Step 4: Extract and Analyze Shellcode
Dump suspicious memory regions and identify shellcode using byte pattern analysis.
Expected Output
JSON report with suspicious processes, heap spray indicators, NOP sled locations, memory region sizes, and extracted shellcode hashes.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

analyzing-heap-spray-exploitation is a skill published in the GitHub repository plurigrid/asi (62 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 493 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to analyzing-heap-spray-exploitation, differing in 22 lines, and is treated as a copy.
