The main point of this paper is education. if it helps people learn
about memory corruption vulns/exploits, that's great, and if
you want to contribute, that's great too. This is originally for
a class, so no contributions will be accepted until it's been
turned in for grading (sometimes mid-december 2012).

to build the paper, simply run 'pdflatex paper.tex'. The output
will be 'paper.pdf'. Below is the output from 'pdflatex --version',
in case you have problems building and want to know what i used.
