Return Oriented Programming, an Introduction

Explore the mechanics of Return Oriented Programming (ROP), a powerful exploitation technique, in this comprehensive conference talk from NDC TechTown 2023. Delve into the inner workings of ROP and discover how it can be utilized to execute code in environments where the stack is non-executable. Through practical examples and clear explanations, gain a solid understanding of this often-heard-of but less-understood concept in cybersecurity. Learn how attackers leverage existing code fragments to construct malicious payloads, bypassing common security measures. Equip yourself with essential knowledge to better comprehend and defend against sophisticated cyber threats in modern computing environments.
