Summary:Exploits are advanced threats that take advantage of vulnerabilities in IT infrastructures. The technological background of the exploits has been changed during the years. Several significant protections have been introduced (e.g. Data Execution Prevention, Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, etc.), but attackers have always found effective ways to bypass any protection. This study gives a summary on the main software vulnerability exploitation methods including protections. Furthermore the study analyzes the capabilities and the predicted future of software exploitation in the light of the new protection technologies.
