DeepDives is a curated collection of detailed writeups on CVEs. Each entry provides a structured analysis of a vulnerability, covering:
- Context — affected systems, versions, and attack surface
- Root Cause — the underlying coding or design flaw that enables exploitation
- Exploitability — how the vulnerability can be abused in practice, including PoCs
- Lessons Learned — takeaways for exploit development and vulnerability research
The objective of this repository is to document, analyze, and learn from real-world vulnerabilities by studying them as an attacker would.

Every writeup follows a standardized framework to ensure consistency:
- Overview — CVE description, impact, CVSS score
- Root Cause — why the bug exists at a code/design level
- Exploitation — step-by-step attacker perspective, with linked PoC
- Lessons Learned — attacker takeaways and patterns to look for
This repository contains real-world exploit code and proof-of-concepts strictly for educational and research purposes.
The material exists to help students, security researchers, and professionals understand how vulnerabilities work from an attacker’s perspective.
