ETSI and 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards, such as GSM and LTE, define supplementary service codes that make it possible to query and set certain service parameters (e.g., call forwarding) directly from mobile devices.
In the UK, the first public body to admit using IMSI catchers was the Scottish Prison Service, [10] though it is likely that the Metropolitan Police Service has been using IMSI catchers since 2011 or before. [11] Body-worn IMSI-catchers that target nearby mobile phones are being advertised to law enforcement agencies in the US. [12]
For example, the old style IMEI code 35-209900-176148-1 or IMEISV code 35-209900-176148-23 tells us the following: TAC: 35-2099 - issued by the BABT (code 35) with the allocation number 2099 FAC: 00 - indicating the phone was made during the transition period when FACs were being removed. SNR: 176148 - uniquely identifying a unit of this model
USSD on a Sony Ericsson mobile phone (2005). Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), sometimes referred to as "quick codes" or "feature codes", is a communications protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the mobile network operator's computers.
AOHell was the first of what would become thousands of programs designed for hackers created for use with AOL. In 1994, seventeen year old hacker Koceilah Rekouche, from Pittsburgh, PA, known online as "Da Chronic", [1] [2] used Visual Basic to create a toolkit that provided a new DLL for the AOL client, a credit card number generator, email bomber, IM bomber, and a basic set of instructions.

An example of how you can see code injection first-hand is to use your browser's developer tools. Code injection vulnerabilities are recorded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the National Vulnerability Database as CWE-94. Code injection peaked in 2008 at 5.66% as a percentage of all recorded vulnerabilities. [4]
The problem in the running code was discovered in 1995 by Ian Goldberg and David Wagner, [4] who had to reverse engineer the object code because Netscape refused to reveal the details of its random number generation (security through obscurity). That RNG was fixed in later releases (version 2 and higher) by more robust (i.e., more random and so ...
Return-oriented programming (ROP) is a computer security exploit technique that allows an attacker to execute code in the presence of security defenses [1] [2] such as executable-space protection and code signing.
