    Google series on in-the-wild exploits
    The Google Project Zero blog is carrying a
    six-part series
    exploring, in great detail, a set of sophisticated
    exploits discovered in the wild. "These exploit chains are designed
    for efficiency & flexibility through their modularity. They are
    well-engineered, complex code with a variety of novel exploitation methods,
    mature logging, sophisticated and calculated post-exploitation techniques,
    and high volumes of anti-analysis and targeting checks. We believe that
    teams of experts have designed and developed these exploit chains. We hope
    this blog post series provides others with an in-depth look at exploitation
    from a real world, mature, and presumably well-resourced actor.
