Hey folks, This is my writeup for Whatscat, just about the easiest 300-point Web level I've ever solved! I wouldn't normally do a writeup about a level like this, but much like the mtpox level I actually wrote the exact tool for exploiting this, and even wrote a blog post about it almost exactly 4 […]
Hey everybody, Two weeks ago today, Microsoft released a bunch of bulletins for Patch Tuesday. One of them - ms11-058 - was rated critical and potentially exploitable. However, according to Microsoft, this is a simple integer overflow, leading to a huge memcpy leading to a DoS and nothing more. I disagree. Although I didn't find […]
This week Last week Earlier this month Last month Last year (if this intro doesn't work, I give up trying to post this :) ), I presented at B-Sides Ottawa, which was put on by Andrew Hay and others (and sorry I waited so long before posting this... I kept revising it and not publishing). […]

Even though I got into the security field with reverse engineering and writing hacks for games, I have never written more than a couple lines of x86 […]
