An Introduction to Exploit Reliability
Isosceles Blog Ben Hawkes

Earlier this year I was invited to give a talk at University of California San Diego (UCSD) for Nadia Heninger's CSE 127 ("Intro to Computer Security"). I chose to talk about modern exploit development, stepping through the process of finding and exploiting some of the memory corruption bugs that the
