Exploit? “...is a piece of software, a chunk of data,
or a sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug or vulnerability to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior...” Wikipedia
What? Counter-Strike: Global Offensive • Source code leak from 2013
for reference. ◦ github.com/ValveSoftware/source-... • Lots of existing exploit examples. ◦ github.com/search?q=dwLocalPlaye...
“Steel-thread” Implementation • “Out of Box” win32 APIs to exploit
the client side process. ◦ read/write with kernel32.dll ◦ input with with user32.dll • “Benign” exploit impact. ◦ client side jump abuse aka “bunny hop”
