AddressSanitizer : Fastest memory error detector

While developing exploits, it is highly mandatory  to monitor the memory address space for memory conditions such as buffer/heap overflow/underflow, etc. Through which we can generate exploits for buffer overflows, you can even at which location can you execute your arbitrary code, etc. AddressSanitizer will help you find memory irregularities very easily.

AddressSanitizer (ASan) the memory error detector for C/C++ consists of two parts:

• A compiler which performs instrumentation - currently a modified LLV</Clang
• A run-time library that replaces malloc(), free()and friends. 

You can download it from here.
