Testing can be used. https://github.com/mseaborn/rowhammer-test.git
. It finds faults at 1 of 2 machines here (but takes half an
hour). Then, if your hardware is one of ivy/sandy/haswell/skylake,
https://github.com/IAIK/rowhammerjs.git can be used for much faster
attack (many flips a second).

Unfortunately, what I have here is:

cpu family : 6
model : 23
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz
stepping : 10
microcode : 0xa07

so rowhammerjs/native is not available for this system. Bit mapping
for memory hash functions would need to be reverse engineered for more
effective attack.

Best regards,
Pavel
