Week 8 - Exploits and Vulnerabilities

This week was pretty straight-forward, we didn't have a lab or anything but we had a lecture on some different exploits and vulnerabilities and discussed "security randomness".

The following are the exploits and vulnerabilities we discussed in class:
-Buffer Overflow
-String Format Vulnerabilities
-Information Disclosure
-Race Conditions
-Spoofing
-Denial of Service

And some of the random security topics that we discussed also:
-DLL Preloading
-TLS Renegotiation
-Firesheep
-Evercookie
-SMB Credential Reflection
-SMB Sniffing
-Conficker
-Stuxnet
-NAT Pinning
