Introduction

This chapter will go through some Windows-based vulnerabilities and the exploit techniques using Python. The solution for the exploit development tasks is to replace the program instructions with our instructions to manipulate the application behavior. We will be using an Immunity Debugger for debugging the applications. As the victim machine will be a Windows machine, we require a machine with Window XP OS installed on it. We are using the old XP version for the ease of exploiting, and the sample applications with vulnerabilities will work in XP.
