## What is Exploit-Challenges?

Exploit-Challenges is a collection of vulnerable ARM binaries designed for educational purposes in vulnerability research and exploit development. The collection includes multiple challenge levels targeting different exploitation techniques and architectures.

The ARM 32-bit challenges cover Return Oriented Programming (ROP) fundamentals through seven progressive levels. These range from basic ROP introduction to advanced techniques including ASLR bypass, format string vulnerabilities, stack pivoting, and off-by-one vulnerabilities. The heap-based challenges focus on common memory corruption issues including heap overflow, Use-After-Free, and double free vulnerabilities.

ARM 64-bit challenges provide 64-bit versions of select ROP exercises, allowing practitioners to understand architectural differences in exploitation techniques.

All binaries are built as ARMv7 Mach-O executables and are designed for use on 32-bit jailbroken iOS devices with debugging utilities like radare2. The challenges include accompanying write-ups and explanations available through the creator's educational content.
