Hi Daniel,

As you know C#,VB.NET and Cobolt.NET etc etc all compile into the Common Runtime Language.

I am not aware of any big weaknesses in the CLR, but I would search for papers on the CLR instead of a specific .Net Language.

Hi,

I am currently researching exploitation techniques specific to C#. The idea
behind this being the future application of such research to penetration
testing.

Browsing the web I have been able to identify a number of resources on
secure coding guidelines for .net and C# however I was unable to locate any
information on the exploitation of issues specific to C#. Obviously the
standard buffer overflow and related bugs are out of the question because
all memory is handled automatically, however there *must* be problems that
relate only to C# and/or .Net.

So my query is this - could anyone point me to some resources or perhaps
provide information on the exploitation and detection of C# specific
problems?

Thank you in advance.
