# Exploitation

## Conclusion
|
||||
- Note: The shown exploit could easily be generated without using symbolic execution. However, we
|
||||
have chosen it since it is rather easy to follow along and suitable to explain how Morion works.
|
||||
This repository intended to demonstrate (some of) the current functionalities (and limitations) of
|
||||
the PoC tool [Morion](https://github.com/pdamian/morion) and to enable interested readers to
|
||||
replicate all listed steps, fostering independent experimentation with the tool. It aimed to show
|
||||
how symbolic execution might assist in understanding the characteristics of a bug, determine its
|
||||
capabilities to decide whether or not a bug is exploitable, and if so support in the process of
|
||||
crafting an exploit. We showcased the tool on a real-world vulnerability to proof its
|
||||
practicability, however want to emphasize that the shown vulnerability class, stack-based buffer
|
||||
overflows, are well studied and rather easy to exploit. This might not necessarily hold true for
|
||||
other types of vulnerability classes whose exploitation might sometimes be more of an art than
|
||||
science, and in consequence typically more difficult to address by an (automated) tool.
|
||||
|
||||
- Conclusions
|
||||
- Well-known and rather simple to exploit vulnerability class (stack buffer overflow)
|
||||
- Exploitation of others might be harder to automate with symbolic execution (heap overflows, race conditions, etc.)
|
||||
- A lot open challenges regarding environment modeling / (semantic) function modeling (see my presentations)
|
||||
- Sometimes not needed, sometimes a simplified model might work, sometimes minor details mather
|
||||
[Morion](https://github.com/pdamian/morion), but also symbolic execution in more general terms,
|
||||
still have a lot of limitations (scalability, modeling interactions with the environment, etc.),
|
||||
especially when being applied to real-world binaries. [Morion](https://github.com/pdamian/morion)
|
||||
was created with the intention to research and better understand these limits.
