This is an area that's always been fascinating to me, but that I've never dived into. I'm not overly interested in this particular program, just exploits in general and perhaps examples of how and why they work. Anyone have any resources that they've found useful?

Microcorruption is a CTF which is a very nice introduction to buffer overflows and the like: https://microcorruption.com/login

Also search for "15-213 Bomb Lab" - it's from a CMU systems programming class and teaches use of the debugger and some common vulnerabilities.

There's a ton of info out there in various websites and blogs. I like the RPISEC Modern Binary Exploitation class as a great introduction. The lectures and materials (and a VM!) are on github: https://github.com/RPISEC/MBE

This is awesome. Thanks for the resource.
