When a program needs to generate/retrieve code and run it, several steps are required. The program needs to allocate memory with read, write, and execution permissions, and perhaps remove the write permission
When choosing an initial access technique, I am a big fan of LNKs. Studying CTI reports, I noticed the constant recurrence of LNKs as an initial access vector across multiple APTs, including APT28,
Bypassing CFI
What CFI Is
Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is a security mitigation that protects against control-flow hijacking attacks by checking if function call is valid. Every compiler has its own implementation
Introduction
Every high-level language has built-in mechanisms designed to make life easier for programmers. Like any other programming language, C++ provides a wealth of ready-made solutions. Programmers usually don’t
I realized that every time I talk about linker scripts, I say that most programmers won’t ever see one unless they work with embedded systems, but I never go deeper than this.
