All Your -Data-base Are Belong To Us

Explore the world of vulnerability research and code execution bugs in office applications through this 24-minute conference talk by @spaceraccoon from HackerOne. Dive into the speaker's journey of discovering and exploiting zero-days, learning about fuzzing, source code review, and reverse-engineering techniques. Gain insights into getting started with software vulnerability research, focusing on parsing and processing various file formats in modern office applications. Discover simple approaches to vulnerability research, suitable for researchers curious about binary exploitation, with minimal background knowledge required. Follow along as the speaker covers topics such as DBF documentation, fuzzing templates, triage mechanisms, and exploit examples, including a case study on Apache OpenOffice vulnerabilities and the disclosure process.
