Dave Aitel: "Haberdashery!"
by Acidus at 10:35 am EDT, May 27, 2008

An exploit in standard parlance is a program that can get control of another program, not just crash it. Crashing a program is known as producing a proof-of-concept. It's the difference between screaming "Haberdashery!" at someone until they go away and convincing them with reasoned argument.

Move over dancery and hateration. Thanks to Dave, I'm adding "Haberdashery!" to my general vocabulary.

Thanks for posting this article. I blogged an analysis of this paper back in April here and here, which was posted here. I also enjoyed Halvar's take here.

This is basically what I had to say about this paper the day it came out. I'm glad something like this has finally made its way to the likes of SecurityFocus.
