'Analyze ELF binaries for memory-corruption vulnerabilities and build proof-of-concept

When to use

• Analyzing ELF binaries during authorized penetration tests to identify memory corruption vulnerabilities
• Solving binary exploitation challenges in CTF competitions
• Evaluating the effectiveness of compiler mitigations (NX, ASLR, stack canaries, PIE, RELRO) on target binaries
• Developing proof-of-concept exploits for vulnerability reports to demonstrate impact
• Training security engineers in exploit development techniques for defensive awareness
• Validating that security patches for buffer overflow vulnerabilities are effective

When not to use

• Systems without explicit written authorization
• Uncontrolled environments
