About me
Hi, I'm Ajin Deepak, a security researcher at mobilehackinglabs. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and am from India. I love learning new things and writing about what I learn in my free time. I am very interested in low-level exploitation and enjoy the challenges it brings. This book is a collection of my ARM Exploitation writeups, which I originally published on medium.com.

About the book
My journey into software exploitation began some time ago. Over several months, I immersed myself in researching assembly and exploitation techniques. I'm excited to now share my knowledge and experiences with you through this book. My goal is to provide valuable insights that can deepen your understanding.
Despite encountering challenges along the way, learning software exploitation has been a rewarding and engaging experience. I've always aimed to share my insights, initially starting with articles focused on ARM Exploitation on medium.com.
As I received recommendations from friends and noticed GitBook's popularity in the community, I decided to compile my write-ups into a PDF format using GitBook. My aim is to create a practical and beginner-friendly book, accessible to anyone with a computer science background. It will be continuously updated, with new content added monthly, covering topics like heap exploitation, off-by-one byte errors, and format string vulnerabilities.
Prerequisites
This book is useful for anyone who wants to start their journey on ARM exploitation. This is a beginner-friendly guide. Even though it's beginner-friendly there are some prerequisites. Anyone interested in software exploitation in ARM can follow this book.
A Computer background
C Programming
Python Programming / Any other scripting language
Familiarity with the command line and gdb
Interest
About C, You only need to understand the c code. You don't need to code anything. Most of the time I will explain the code details.
But I do recommend getting a novice-level grasp of concepts like debugging and disassembling. You should be familiar with GDB.
You can go through these resources for learning gdb and gef.

ARM Basics
Buffer overflows
Integer overflows
Rop chains
Heap exploitation
ARM64 exploitation and much more.
