Compare heap-exploitation vs isoalloc and see what are their differences.

heap-exploitation

This book on heap exploitation is a guide to understanding the internals of glibc's heap and various attacks possible on the heap structure. (by DhavalKapil)

isoalloc

A general purpose memory allocator that implements an isolation security strategy to mitigate memory safety issues while maintaining good performance (by struct)

    Not in a HN news comment, I don't have that level of dedication to this because its definitely non trivial. However you can read about them in use against the glibc allocator are here: https://github.com/DhavalKapil/heap-exploitation/blob/master...

    The "house of" attack method are attacks against the allocator, its been a while since I've looked into it, I hope musl have hardened their allocator against this kind of attacks.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing heap-exploitation and isoalloc you can also consider the following projects:

Abstract-Data-Types - A set of efficient data structures in C, created in a generic way

hardened_malloc - Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.
