Exploit Dev Journey

A structured, hands-on path through Windows exploit development — from building an isolated WinDbg lab, through x86 architecture and debugger fundamentals, toward memory corruption and exploitation techniques. Each post is a lab-style walkthrough with real assembly, WinDbg commands, and practical steps. Aimed at intermediate security practitioners (OSCP-level and up).
