ROP Emporium: Learn return-oriented programming through a series of challenges

This is interesting (these are solutions for the challenges on the site):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;abatchy17&#x2F;ROP-Emporium" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;abatchy17&#x2F;ROP-Emporium</a>

This looks like a nice variety of challenges! I&#x27;ve always found constructing ROP chains extremely satisfying, even more than regular exploit development.<p>As a plug, I wrote a blog post solving a similar exercise using a ROP chain: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kvakil.me&#x2F;posts&#x2F;ropchain&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kvakil.me&#x2F;posts&#x2F;ropchain&#x2F;</a> . It looks pretty similar to the pivot challenge here.

This is why Internet is great ! Thanks for sharing such advanced concept tutorial for free.

Who made this?

Are there leaderboards or profiles?

I am pretty sure this is quite an unpopular opinion, but I think that the biggest issue we have in computer security is culture.<p>Information security breaches are not victimless crimes. The ubiquity of massive security failures shows that they are not rare occurrences. I believe that this symptomizes a failure of our culture, related to an inability to integrate information technology into the proper context within our society.<p>Sure, we need to be aware of exploit patterns so that we can make structural improvements, but we don&#x27;t need to become jolly experts in them. We should stop glorifying cyber-criminals.
