Exploit Development

FOR THE DEMIGODS OF CYBER SECURITY. As an empaneled exploit developer, you are recognized as the ultimate hackers and cyber security experts. A tough subject that only a select few are able to master, exploit development is one of the highest paid jobs in the Industry as well as with the agencies engaged in National Security.

If you have won any bug bounty's, have published world class exploits in exploit-db or related sites or have worked in exploit development with proven work, you can directly submit your detailed profile for review and request for approval in the Central Cyber Registry.

There are several methods of classifying exploits. The most common is by how the exploit contacts the vulnerable software. A 'remote exploit' works over a network and exploits the security vulnerability without any prior access to the vulnerable system. A 'local exploit' requires prior access to the vulnerable system and usually increases the privileges of the person running the exploit past those granted by the system administrator. Exploits against client applications also exist, usually consisting of modified servers that send an exploit if accessed with client application. Exploits against client applications may also require some interaction with the user and thus may be used in combination with social engineering method. Another classification is by the action against vulnerable system: unauthorized data access, arbitrary code execution, denial of service.

Many exploits are designed to provide superuser-level access to a computer system. However, it is also possible to use several exploits, first to gain low-level access, then to escalate privileges repeatedly until one reaches root. Normally a single exploit can only take advantage of a specific software vulnerability. Often, when an exploit is published, the vulnerability is fixed through a patch and the exploit becomes obsolete for newer versions of the software. This is the reason why some blackhat hackers do not publish their exploits but keep them private to themselves or other hackers.
