Talk:Exploit (computer security)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An exploit may or may not 'extend privileges'. It could cicumvent access control, or entend it to provide or extends access to a feature _or_ allows a feature to be used in a manner not intended by the softwares developers.
- there are always such misfeatures, bugs, holes, whatever you wanna call 'em. It's best not to distinguish but imagine software itself as swiss cheese that one grabs onto by fumbling fingers in the dark, some of which give access to the center and let you grab the whole cheese, take it out of the dark, adn eat it.
