A collection of script with proofs of crazy concepts. Use at your own risk!

mem_view.py

Edit arbitrary memory of your python process!

flow_control.py

Patching opcodes during runtime!

from flow_control import return_, permajump

def f():
    return_("hacked")
    return 42

print(f())  # prints 'hacked'

def g():
    x = "hacked"
    jump(8, "current")
    x = 42
    return x
print(f())  # prints 'hacked'
