Function Hooking Part I: Hooking Shared Library Function Calls in Linux

Builds a Pin DBI tool that hooks Linux sendto and recvfrom syscalls, showing how to read runtime buffer arguments without source code for analysis, fuzzing, and traffic inspection.

Without root, testers can attach a debugger to Android apps after decompiling with APKTool, stepping through method calls to intercept traffic pre-encryption and capture keys never written to disk.

Using the Qiling framework to emulate a UEFI PNG decoder, researchers found a buffer over-read from spoofed IDAT chunk lengths, a LogoFail-adjacent flaw leaking data during boot.

RayV Lite's creators explain low-cost laser fault injection: consumer green laser pointers leak 1064 nm infrared, and lower-power lasers trigger faults via longer exposure and clock-cycle alignment.

This guide covers practical chip decapsulation methods for home and amateur labs, including technique selection by packaging type without acid equipment, democratizing silicon-level reverse engineering.

NetSPI releases Dockerized Linux hacking labs: vulnerable images with a Metasploit attacker container let learners safely practice exploiting misconfigured services like Rsync.
