Exploitarium: Consolidated PoC Exploit Archive on GitHub

Hacker News •
×

A developer ashdf rkl has pushed a new GitHub repository called exploitarium. The repo aggregates proof‑of‑concept exploits and vulnerability writeups that have not yet been reported. Each entry lives in its own folder, preserving the original README and tracked files from the author’s earlier standalone repos. The maintainer invites collaboration via Discord and hopes the archive will attract newcomers to security research. It logs each addition.

Current contents span exploits such as 7zip‑rar5 chain, AnyDesk printer impersonation, ffmpeg RASC calc, and libssh2 CVE‑2026‑55200, among dozens more. The author verified consolidation by cloning the original repos on June 23 2026 and comparing Git tree data, confirming 96 tracked entries across 12 repositories with zero mismatches. Identical blob IDs guarantee exact file preservation. All hashes match exactly, demonstrating flawless migration for future audits.

Repository metadata—stars, issues, pull requests, releases—remain in the original histories, while the consolidated repo isolates the exploit code. A strict abuse disclaimer warns users not to weaponize the material, framing the project as good‑faith open disclosure aimed at education. The archive now serves as a single, verifiable source for researchers seeking real‑world vulnerability examples.
