The Art of Exploit Development

The Art of Exploit Development

The PDF release of the book. 705 pages, 34 chapters, seven parts — every core technique of modern binary exploitation, taught on Ubuntu 24.04 / glibc 2.39 and Windows 11 24H2, with x86-64 and AArch64 as first-class citizens throughout.

All the code that appears in the book lives in this repository. Every chapter that CI can build is exercised on real Ubuntu 24.04 x86-64 and aarch64 runners; chapters that need Windows, the QEMU kernel VM, or a full V8 build are marked .ci-skip with an on-disk reason and run locally per the chapter README.

The paperback edition is available on Amazon KDP if you'd rather read on paper or want to support the work directly.
