Advanced WebKit Exploitation: How the Attackers in DarkSword Went From R/W to Full Code Execution

iVerify Co-Founder and VP of Research Matthias Frielingsdorf breaks down the DarkSword exploit chain found in the wild. Remember when you could just overflow a buffer and jump to shellcode? Those days are gone. This talk digs into the latest WebKit mitigations including PAC and TPRO, which hasn't been covered publicly before, and exactly how DarkSword's attackers bypassed them.

Why it matters

The mobile attack surface is where modern adversaries live and where most defenders aren't looking. We're bringing that research to Summercon.
