Modern systems are designed around one basic promise: invalid memory addresses should never respond. When a program dereferences a pointer that belongs to no allocated region, the operating system is supposed to intervene immediately with a segmentation fault. End of story. Except… sometimes that promise breaks.And when it does, the consequences are far worse…

Dynamic Memory Analysis with AddressSanitizer at the Binary Level
Memory bugs are silent killers in software systems. They don’t just crash applications — they open doors for data corruption, undefined behavior, and exploitable security holes. Static analysis can help, but it’s often blind to runtime behavior. That’s where AddressSanitizer (ASan) comes in — a brutal, low-level memory checker that catches your mistakes as…
