Heya(s) We started a research project a little while back to see if we could reasonably cover the history of memory corruption advances (both attacks and mitigations). Some background on the work can be found here: http://blog.thinkst.com/2010/05/memory-corruption-and-hacker-folklore.html Like anyone else who attempts such a project, we quickly realized that we would be missing huge chunks of data ("events" - for purposes of our discussion), sometimes because the internet has forever lost the original text file, and sometimes because the event didn't get the acknowledgment it deserved at the time. (sometimes just because we missed it). This is a problem just searching for a wiki-like-thing as a solution. To this end, we have thrown together http://ilm.thinkst.com/folklore/ which allows you to browse (and add to) an interactive timeline of events relating to corruption (on X86). Ill mod the site shortly to ensure that a local copy of all papers/posts is linked too (so we are less likely to suffer when mail lists and archives disappear) I'm still adding events, and in the past month we have had comments and edits from the likes of Halvar, spender, Nate Lawson and icesurfer, but we could always do with more (to try to cover more ground) Please feel free to add events using the hacky form on the site, or if you like, you can mail me, or message @haroonmeer on twitter.. /mh -- Haroon Meer http://thinkst.com/ Tel: +27 83 786 6637 PGP: http://thinkst.com/pgp/haroon.txt _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
