heartbleed

We have hosted the application heartbleed in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about heartbleed:

Heartbleed contains a compact, purpose-built implementation for detecting the infamous Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL�s TLS heartbeat extension (CVE-2014-0160). It focuses on demonstrating and testing the flaw rather than being a general-purpose security toolkit, which makes the code approachable for learning and auditing. The project illustrates how a malformed heartbeat request could coax vulnerable servers into leaking memory contents, including potentially sensitive data. Because it�s small and self-contained, it�s often used as a reference to understand the vulnerability mechanics without wading through large codebases. The repo also serves as a historical snapshot of a watershed moment in modern Internet security and the practical lessons it forced the industry to learn. Developers and security engineers alike can study it to better appreciate protocol hardening, input validation, and defense-in-depth strategies.

Features:

• Minimal, readable proof-of-concept focused on Heartbleed detection
• Practical example of malformed TLS heartbeat crafting and parsing
• Clear separation of probing logic from general TLS stacks
• Useful as a teaching aid for vulnerability mechanics
• Lightweight codebase suitable for audits and experimentation
• Command-line oriented workflow for quick checks

Programming Language: Go.
