Binary exploitation8

Turn a memory-safety bug in a native binary into control of execution. Usually a stack overflow, a format string, or a heap primitive.

Misc6

Everything that fits no other box: esolangs, puzzles, scripting exercises, and the jail escapes that have not yet earned their own category.

Reverse engineering4

Work out what a compiled program does without its source, then work backwards from the check to the input that passes it.
