This PR adds two utility functions to
misc.py:cyclic(length=None): generates a de Bruijn sequence pattern of 4‑byte tokens (aaaa, aaab, ..., zzzz) for buffer overflow testing. Iflengthis given, returns the firstlengthbytes.cyclic_find(subseq): returns the byte offset of a 4‑byte token in the pattern. Accepts a 4‑character string or a little‑endian integer (e.g., from EIP). Returns -1 if the token is invalid.These functions are commonly used in exploit development to quickly determine the exact offset to overwrite the return address. They are analogous to pwntools'
cyclicandcyclic_find, but implemented natively in pure Python without external dependencies.Usage example:
