'''
Our thesis: In any suﬃciently large body of x86 executable code there
will exist suﬃciently
many useful code sequences that an attacker who controls the stack
will be able, by means
of the return-into-libc techniques we introduce, to cause the
exploited program to undertake
arbitrary computation.
