We scan GitHub repositories to detect new proof-of-concept exploits. Following list is a collection of public exploits and proof-of-concepts, which have been published on GitHub (sorted by the most recently updated).

Practiced several system security exploits with C language in a specific Linux image, most of which aim to achieve root privileges or tamper with some data, breaking the integrity or/and the confidentiality of the system. Some general techniques applied to the vulnerable custom programs include stack overflow, integer overflow, format string tricks, double free, return-to-libc, rop. More than that, some vulnerabilities once existed in the real-world Linux versions are also exploited, including SUDO and GHTTPD.
