Automatic Exploitation of Fully Randomized Executables

Abstract

We present Marten, a new end to end system for automatically discovering, exploiting, and combining information leakage and buffer overflow vulnerabilities to derandomize and exploit remote, fully randomized processes. Results from two case studies high- light Marten’s ability to generate short, robust ROP chain exploits that bypass address space layout randomization and other modern defenses to download and execute injected code selected by an attacker.
