Automated exploit generation method for stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities

Automated exploit generation method for stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities

Blog Article

In this paper automated method for exploit generation is presented.This method allows to construct exploits for stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities shades 4nch and also to prioritize software bugs.It is applied to program binaries, without requiring debug information.The method is based on dynamic analysis and symbolic execution.We present a tool implementing the method.

We used this tool to generate exploits for 8 vulnerabilities in both Linux and esp ltd sd-2 Windows programs, 3 of which were undocumented at the time this paper was written.
