Although software exploitation historically started as an exercise in coaxing the target's
execution into attacker supplied binary shellcode, it soon became a practical study in …

We demonstrate a simple set of interrupt-related vulnerability primitives that, despite being
apparently innocuous, give attackers full control of a microcontroller platform. We then …

Abstract The Operating System (OS) kernel is a key component of modern computing
infrastructure, yet it is prone to numerous vulnerabilities, many of which cause memory …

Embedded systems are found everywhere from consumer electronics to critical
infrastructure. And with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), these systems are …

An operating system kernel orchestrates the use of the hardware by programs. Much of the
overall security of a system depends on the kernel, yet commodity OS kernels count millions …

Embedded systems are found everywhere from consumer electronics to critical
infrastructure. And with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), these systems are …

Any attempt to regulate-or, indeed, legally define-exploits will cause irreparable harm to both
coder freedoms and consumer systems' trustworthiness. It will reduce the sum of our …

The Internet core protocols are the networking protocols that the Internet is built on, a subset
of which are implemented on every device connected to the Internet. The specifications of …

A common misconception in computer security is that a computer is able to evaluate whether
or not it is compromised. However, if we consider a compromised system, the evaluation is …

In recent cyber-security discussions, several parties compared exploits with weapons (eg,
referred to development and sale of exploits as “arms dealing”) and called for legal …
