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 | $0.00053 | $0.02527 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.01011 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00505 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00253 |
Grade A, and why
heap-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 1mo 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
100% identical to heap-exploitation — 0 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.

SKILL: Heap Exploitation — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert glibc heap exploitation techniques. Covers ptmalloc2 internals, bin structures, tcache mechanics, libc/heap leak methods, and attack selection by glibc version. Distilled from ctf-wiki heap sections, how2heap, and real-world exploitation. Base models often confuse glibc version constraints and miss safe-linking (PROTECT_PTR) introduced in 2.32.

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

heap-exploitation is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai (13 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,527 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to heap-exploitation, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
