👉 The exotic I/O (Intrusion-Oriented Programming) refers to a class of attacks where hackers exploit vulnerabilities in software to gain unauthorized access to data or disrupt systems, often by mimicking legitimate user activities or leveraging system weaknesses. Unlike traditional I/O attacks that focus on direct input/output operations, the exotic I/O involves manipulating how applications handle data streams, network communications, or file operations, making it harder to detect. Attackers might inject malicious code into seemingly benign data flows, alter data in transit, or exploit buffer overflows to execute arbitrary commands, all while maintaining a low profile to avoid triggering security alerts. This approach targets the underlying logic of software, turning normal system processes into vectors for exploitation, and is particularly dangerous because it can bypass conventional security measures designed to monitor direct I/O interactions.
