“Congratulations, Jatin!! You are promoted!!”   my manager said to me!! Well,2017 and 2018 were not my years. I was going through tough times in my personal life dealing with breakup and other family issues. When you’re going through tough times, you tend to look for signs that can actually give you and your family a little bit of happiness. This promotion was a sign for me and my family! I came out of the meeting room and called my mom to share this “good” news. There is this one thing with all Mom’s. No matter how much you try to hide your sadness and worry, they can easily sense it! She was sad because I was sad, and she knew that she couldn’t do anything about it. I wanted to give this good news to her so that she could actually divert her thoughts from the tough times I was going through. Feb 5th, 2018: I was back from a mini vacation and was feeling really good! I thought, from now on, to start a new chapter of my life, filled with positivity and happiness.

Say, you’re writing a buffer overflow exploit, and you have figured out that you need 1337 bytes of padding. What are your options? Type them by hand. This will be annoying and error-prone (how sure are you that you hit the “A” key  exactly  1337 times? because one more or one less will ruin the exploit). Write a C program to generate them - with a loop and a counter. This will be less annoying and less error prone. Write a Python program to generate them. There it’s just  "A" * 1337 , done. But it gets even better! How did you find this vulnerability? Python is the plug-in language of the Immunity debugger. And how do you intend to deploy the exploit? Python has networking libraries. And HTML parsing libraries and what not. It’s a high-level, easy-to-use Swiss army knife. Guest Author Vladislav Zorov programming enthusiast. Lives in Bulgaria Love my answers?
