This talk looks at the lifespan of a small number of software exploits. It considers the initial vulnerability, how it is exploited in the real world , and the motivations of actors involved in launching attacks. There will be technical examples of SQL Injection, Remote Code Execution and design-level weaknesses, along with how the use of these affects the world at large.
