In video games, an exploit is the use of a bug or glitch, in a way that gives a substantial unfair advantage to players using it. [1] However, whether particular acts constitute an exploit can be controversial, typically involving the argument that the issues are part of the game, and no changes or external programs are needed to take advantage ...
Nukemap (stylised in all caps) is an interactive map using Mapbox [1] API and declassified nuclear weapons effects data, created by Alex Wellerstein, a historian of ...
On its own, an arbitrary code execution exploit will give the attacker the same privileges as the target process that is vulnerable. [11] For example, if exploiting a flaw in a web browser, an attacker could act as the user, performing actions such as modifying personal computer files or accessing banking information, but would not be able to perform system-level actions (unless the user in ...
Code injection is a computer security exploit where a program fails to correctly process external data, such as user input, causing it to interpret the data as executable commands. An attacker using this method "injects" code into the program while it is running.
It's not nearly as popular as Nukemap, but the two are well-connected and share a common theme. Would it be worth a mention, or does it not meet notability standards? 66.161.207.235 ( talk ) 17:57, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ]
The part of the source code of an exploit that implements this technique is called a heap spray. [1] In general, code that sprays the heap attempts to put a certain sequence of bytes at a predetermined location in the memory of a target process by having it allocate (large) blocks on the process's heap and fill the bytes in these blocks with ...
The Shadow Brokers (TSB) is a hacker group who first appeared in the summer of 2016. [1] [2] They published several leaks containing hacking tools, including several zero-day exploits, [1] from the "Equation Group" who are widely suspected to be a branch of the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States.
Because the characters and data of the game were saved on memory cards, SEGA could not remove the duping glitch, and the online game was filled with duped items and money. In the Xbox 360 game Forza Motorsport 2, there was a duping glitch which enabled the player to sell car upgrades they had not yet purchased. By selecting an upgrade, and ...
