Abstract
Starting with a historical perspective on exploitation and a background on kernel exploitation, this talk surveys state-of-the-art techniques used to automate kernel exploitation across attacker models, vulnerability classes, exploitation steps, and analysis techniques (static analysis, fuzzing, symbolic execution, ...).
