      Analysis of the Exploitation Processes
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    Linked below is a paper describing in details the how to exploit the most
    common security vulnerabilities in software: Stack overwrite, Heap
    overwrite, Function pointer overwrite, Format strings. All exploit methods
    are explained in detail, and example code example is given.

    DETAILS

    Forward:
    In this document, I aim to clear the mystique surrounding the processes
    for exploiting certain vulnerabilities, of which blackhats use in order to
    gain either horizontal or vertical escalation of privileges. This document
    shall not be in anyway complete, but rather a step for those seeking to
    gain better understanding of how these exploitation processes are used to
    achieve those goals.

    It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of C, ASM, GDB and
    of shellcoding principle together with memory layout for use with x86
    Linux.
