--[ Introduction

Hello Phrack readers! It has been a long time, hasn't it? Aren't you relieved that the world didn't end in 2012?! What if the Mayans were right? What if comets hit Earth? Yes, we were worried too, so we decided to take some time off and enjoy the last days of this planet. Once enough time had passed, we were pretty sure our species was not going to disappear. It was about time we returned to our blinking terminals again and finish what we started :>

Phrack #69 brings you three new technical articles in addition to paper feed and the standard Linenoise, Loopback and International Scenes philes. The Firefox hater code-named argp presents advanced exploitation techniques and attempts to build abstract primitives for taking advantage of various memory-related vulnerabilities on your "favorite" multi-heap browser ;> Huku, some guy who, obviously, visits porn sites a lot, has written an art of exploitation phile focusing on Adobe Flash Player (hey, this is not P0 man!). Last but not least, uty presents a VT-x based technique for installing inline hooks and backdooring a whole system. We have spent much time debugging this, we hope you do like it.
