March 24, 2004Analysis of the Exploitation ProcessesSteven Hill (aka:"SolarIce") from Covert Systems Research has released a paper on gaining either horizontal or vertical escalation of privileges through the use of exploitation of particular vulnerabilities in processes. Discussing things like stack, heap and function pointer overwrites, as well as format string vulnerabilities, its worth reading if you want to see how it is technically done. You should have a pretty good grasp of gcc and gdb if you want to really understand what is going on. All and all though, its a pretty good read.... although Steven admits its far from being a complete work on the subject. Happy reading. Posted by SilverStr at March 24, 2004 08:02 AM | TrackBack |
