Fuzzing an application is not a matter of simply exploiting a specific point of an application, but also acquiring knowledge and potential crashes that could be explored in-depth through the implementation of crafted payloads […]

Introduction: In the previous article of this series, we discussed how format string vulnerabilities can be exploited. This article provides a case study of how format string vulnerabilities can be used to exploit serious vulnerabilities such as Buffer Overflows. We will begin by understanding what stack canaries are and then we will exploit a Buffer […]

Introduction: IoT Manufacturers Favor Convenience over Security Because IoT security is still an afterthought, cybercriminals in general consider smart devices a “low-hanging fruit” – a target easy to compromise and manipulate. Security (and privacy) by design is key for IoT, and probably the only effective way for a smart gadget to protect its communications is […]
