Machine Learning Attack Series: Backdooring Pickle Files
Recently I read this excellent post by Evan Sultanik about exploiting pickle files on Trail of Bits. There was also a DefCon30 talk about backdooring pickle files by ColdwaterQ. This got me curious to try out backdooring a pickle file myself. Pickle files - the surprises Surprisingly Python pickle files are compiled programs running in a VM called the Pickle Machine (PM).
