This package contains example vulnerable C programs. The best way to learn exploit coding is by doing it. Start your search with the index.html. There are examples of buffer overflows (stack and heap) and format string vulnerabilities. All examples are exploitable with a standard linux/x86 environment.

4759aeddf74d87710e35bace4b78ab39"Know Your Enemy: A Forensic Analysis". This paper is a continuation of the Know Your Enemy series. The first three papers covered the tools and tactics of the black-hat community. This paper, the fourth of the series, studies step by step a successful attack of a system. However, instead of focusing on the tools and tactics used, we will focus on how we learned what happened and pieced the information together. The purpose is to give you the forensic skills necessary to analyze and learn on your own the threats your organization faces.

It's surprising, but many people do not follow common sense and simple logic when analyzing malicious network activity. Even worse, when contacting other organizations to complain, security incidents can be misrepresented because all of the facts are not in order, incorrect or even erroneous theories. This paper details a variety of steps that you can take to get the most effectiveness and accuracy from your intrusion detection system. It also concentrates on determining the who, what, why, where, when and how of any network security event so that you can accurately relay this information to others."
