Exploiting OpenBSD [PPT]

Free, functional and sort of secure. This presentation explores the cutting edge of exploit development on an OpenBSD system. Topics discussed will include the stack-smashing protector (SSP/ProPolice), Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), the custom OpenBSD malloc implementation, and various other points of interest. Both previously known and unknown attacks will be covered. Some prior exploit development knowledge is assumed.



OpenBSD 4.0

At the start of the show, you say this applies to OpenBSD 3.9. How much also applies to 4.x? I'm reasonably comfortable using an OS whose old versions are becoming hackable as long as the new version is solid.
