Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC) stores attack patterns, which are descriptions of the common attributes and approaches employed by adversaries to exploit the CVE-2022-28805 weaknesses.

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).

The CBuild-ng compilation system is a more powerful and flexible build system than Buildroot, and faster and succincter than Yocto. It mainly consists: a task parsing management executor, configured with menuconfig, run by make; a compilation tool comparable to CMake; a set of scripts that handle the entire process of software compilation.
