# SKILL: Stack Overflow & ROP — Expert Attack Playbook

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Expert stack-based exploitation techniques. Covers classic buffer overflow, return-to-libc, ROP chain construction, ret2csu, ret2dlresolve, SROP, stack pivoting, and canary bypass. Distilled from ctf-wiki advanced-rop, real-world CVEs, and CTF competition patterns. Base models often miss the nuance of gadget selection under constrained conditions.

## 0. RELATED ROUTING

- [format-string-exploitation](../format-string-exploitation/SKILL.md) — leak canary/libc/PIE base via format string before triggering overflow
- [binary-protection-bypass](../binary-protection-bypass/SKILL.md) — systematic bypass of NX, ASLR, PIE, canary, RELRO
- [arbitrary-write-to-rce](../arbitrary-write-to-rce/SKILL.md) — convert a write primitive (GOT, hooks, vtable) into code execution
- [heap-exploitation](../heap-exploitation/SKILL.md) — when the vulnerability is in heap rather than stack
