Windows 10 egghunter (wow64) and more
Introduction Ok, I have a confession to make, I have always been somewhat intrigued by egghunters. That doesn’t mean that I like to use (or abuse) an egghunter just because I fancy what it does. In fact, I believe it’s a good practise to try to avoid egghunters if you can, as they tend to […]
Windows 10 x86/wow64 Userland heap
Introduction Hi all, Over the course of the past few weeks ago, I received a number of “emergency” calls from some relatives, asking me to look at their computer because “things were broken”, “things looked different” and “I think my computer got hacked”. I quickly realized that their computers got upgraded to Windows 10. We […]
Analyzing heap objects with mona.py
Introduction Hi all, While preparing for my Advanced exploit dev course at Derbycon, I’ve been playing with heap allocation primitives in IE. One of the things that causes some frustration (or, at least, tends to slow me down during the research) is the ability to quickly identify objects that may be useful. After all, I’m […]
Root Cause Analysis – Integer Overflows
Foreword Over the past few years, Corelan Team has received many exploit related questions, including “I have found a bug and I don’t seem to control EIP, what can I do ?”; “Can you write a tutorial on heap overflows” or “what are Integer overflows”. In this article, Corelan Team member Jason Kratzer (pyoor) tries […]
Root Cause Analysis – Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
Introduction For the past year or so I’ve spent a significant amount of time fuzzing various applications with the hopes of identifying exploitable crashes. Early on in my research I quickly realized that building fuzzers and generating large quantities of crashes, even for heavily targeted applications, was easy. However, determining the exploitability of these crashes, […]
DEPS – Precise Heap Spray on Firefox and IE10
Introduction Last week, while doing my bi-weekly courseware review and update, I discovered that my heap spray script for Firefox 9 no longer works on recent versions. Looking back at the type of tricks I had to use to make a precise spray work under Firefox 9 and IE 9, and realizing that these changes […]
Heap Layout Visualization with mona.py and WinDBG
Introduction Time flies. Almost 3 weeks have passed since we announced the ability to run mona.py under WinDBG. A lot of work has been done on mona.py in the meantime. We improved stability and performance, updated to pykd.pyd 0.2.0.14 and ported a few additional immlib methods to windbglib. I figured this would be a good […]
Jingle BOFs, Jingle ROPs, Sploiting all the things… with Mona v2 !!
Ho Ho Ho friends, It has been a while since we posted something on the Corelan Team blog, I guess we all have been busy doing … stuff and things, here and there. Nevertheless, as the year is close to filling up 100%, it’s probably a good time to start thinking about finding some convincing […]

Screenshot : idle-hands profile : Reputation I registered a useraccount “corelanc0d3r” and used the “Report” button, but for some reason my user […]

Recently I played with an older CVE (CVE-2008-0532, http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/489463, by FX) and I was having trouble debugging the CGI executable where the vulnerable function was located.
