An exploit is a piece of software/code that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in the firmware to run a script or a program. Every known exploit of the psp is used to run homebrew applications (like eLoader or the 2.0 eboot loader).
a trick used to do take over software. F - J
attack based on a specific vulnerability, for example the preview pane of Outlook Express can activate malicious content in email messages that are in HTML format.

Take advantage of a specific security vulnerability.
A script or program that takes advantage of vulnerabilities in services or programs to allow an attacker to gain unauthorized or elevated system access.
A piece of software that takes advantage of a hole or vulnerability in a user’s system to gain unauthorized access to the system.
A hardware or software vulnerability that can be 'exploited' by a hacker to gain access to a system or service.
To use or take advantage of
Take selfish or unfair advantage of someone or something, usually for personal gain.
Taking advantage of a glitch or game mechanic to gain an advantage that is not allowed per the terms of use of the game.
A program that takes advantage of a risk window to take control of, damage, or remove information from an unpatched computer.
A program or technique that takes advantage of a vulnerability in software to attack its host.
A piece of code written to take advantage of an error in an application to cause it to behave in a way desired by the code writer The act of manipulating software and computers in ways their owners do not intend or expect. A hack
To exploit is to take advantage of a weakness; so in network security terms, an exploit is an attack designed to take advantage of a vulnerability in the system. Often, this vulnerability is a backdoor.
The purposeful use of a broken game element or bug, for gain. (forbidden)
Term used to describe a glitch or bug, that when taken advantaged of will allow the player to obtain an advantage of some sort over his opponents.
A way of breaking into a system. An exploit takes advantage of a weakness in a system in order to hack it. Exploits are the root of the hacker culture. Hackers gain fame by discovering an exploit. Others gain fame by writing scripts for it. Legions of script-kiddies apply the exploit to millions of systems, whether it makes sense or not. Since people make the same mistakes over-and-over, exploits for very different systems start to look very much like each other. Most exploits can be classified under major categories: buffer overflow, directory climbing, defaults, Denial of Service.
An Exploit is a file that will take advantage of design flaws (vulnerabilities) in software in order to hack a system. The exploit may be used to perform a number of different actions such as downloading worms and Trojans, accessing confidential data or crashing the software (Denial of Service) depending on the nature and severity of the vulnerability. The best way to protect against Exploits is to frequently run the Windows Update feature built into Microsoft Windows to download all of Microsoft's recent security updates.
A bug in the game that can be used to illegitimately benefit a character.
Using defects in software code or function on a system to elevate privileges, execute code remotely, cause denial of service, or other attacks. See Buffer Overflow for an example of an exploit.
A cracker program that takes advantage of a vulnerability.
A program that uses a known vulnerability to attack a system.
a program or technique that takes advantage of a vulnerability in software; can be used for breaking security or otherwise attacking a host over the network
In computer security, an exploit is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that take advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in order to get unintended or unanticipated behavior out of computer software, hardware, or something electronic (usually computerized). This frequently includes such things as gaining control of a computer system or allowing privilege escalation or a denial of service attack.
In the realm of online games, an exploit is usually a software bug, hack or bot that contributes to the user's prosperity in a manner not intended by the developers. In other words it is a form of cheating.
