✌️ V8 Exploitation: From Libc Pwn to Browser Bugs

For the past few years I've been doing pwn challenges - starting from basic stack overflows, progressing through libc heap exploitation, writing a CheatEngine clone in Rust, and prototyping an eBPF-based record-replay tool that required bypassing vDSO. I felt fairly comfortable with systems programming and userspace exploitation.

But challenges like QEMU escape or browser exploitation always seemed like a different league. Something I wasn't "ready for yet." That feeling created an artificial barrier - I kept telling myself I needed more preparation before even attempting them.
