How I Met Your Pointer - Hijacking Client Software for Fuzz and Profit

Explore advanced techniques for vulnerability discovery in closed-source software with proprietary protocols in this BruCON Security Conference talk by Carlos Garcia. Learn how to leverage binary instrumentation to manipulate client software, turning it into a "double agent" against the server. Discover an efficient alternative to time-consuming reverse engineering and ineffective dumb fuzzing methods. Gain insights into practical applications of this approach, with small tools and code examples provided for hands-on experimentation after the presentation.
