Overview

Every bug has a story. A bug is born, lives, and then dies, often without ever being discovered or exploited. For a hacker, each bug is a golden opportunity to create an exploit, a magic spell that turns any vulnerable wall into a door.

This chapter will focus on creating exploits that can be used successfully in the wild.
