mona.py is a Python plugin for debuggers (Immunity Debugger, x64dbg) that assists with exploit development tasks such as finding ROP gadgets, generating pattern offsets, and identifying bad characters. This repository is the legacy version; development has moved to mona3.

Use cases

  • find ROP gadgets for exploit development
  • generate cyclic patterns and find offsets
  • identify bad characters in buffer overflow exploits
  • search memory for pointers and instructions in a debugger
  • automate exploit development tasks in Immunity Debugger

When to choose

  • you are developing exploits for Windows binaries and use Immunity Debugger or x64dbg
  • you need a battle-tested classic mona.py for older debugger setups

When to avoid

  • you are starting fresh - use the newer mona3 repository instead
  • you need exploit tooling on Linux or outside a debugger environment
