Attacking Windows by Windows

Explore a novel approach to exploiting Windows kernel vulnerabilities in this 32-minute Black Hat conference talk. Learn how to bypass Microsoft's exploit mitigations introduced since Windows 8, including Kernel DEP, KASLR, and SMEP. Discover a common method applicable from Windows 2000 to Windows 10 that leverages a hypothetical 0-day vulnerability capable of flipping bits. Delve into topics such as Hell Dispatch Table, protections, shared infrastructure, Window objects, and escalation techniques. Gain insights from security researchers Li Zhou and Yin Liang as they demonstrate how to achieve system privileges despite enhanced security measures.
