September 12, 2003Smashing the Mac For Fun & ProfitIf you have spent any time in the infosec field and deal with hacking, you will have obviously read Aleph One's "Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit". This is one of the required readings in the field. It elegantly explains how to overflow systems on x86, and goes in great depth on how that is done. Not to be outdone, B-r00t just released "Smashing The Mac For Fun & Profit", which does the same... but for the PowerPC / OSX. So if you would like to develop shellcodes intended for use in exploitation of vulnerabilities discovered within Apple's OSX OS, this paper is for you! The old days where Apple fans could say their system was hack proof is over. (Well, it was never true to begin with, but I digress). Good read. I learned a few new things about the PowerPC that I didn't know. Posted by SilverStr at September 12, 2003 09:53 AM |
