pwntools & checksec: The Binary Exploitation Workbench

If you do any amount of binary exploitation, pwntools is the library that turns a fiddly, error-prone process into a few readable lines of Python. It handles the plumbing — spawning the target, talking to it over a socket, packing addresses into the right byte order, parsing leaked pointers — so you can spend your brain on the actual bug. checksec, which ships alongside it, is the thirty-second triage you run first on every binary to know what you’re up against.

Introduction

Transferring files to and from a compromised target is a fundamental skill in penetration testing and CTF challenges. Whether you need to upload enumeration scripts, exfiltrate data, or transfer exploits, understanding multiple file transfer techniques is crucial for different scenarios and target configurations.
