What are some common methods used to exploit software vulnerabilities?

### REPLY:
Exploiting software vulnerabilities can be done through various methods such as buffer overflow attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), or remote code execution. These techniques take advantage of weaknesses in software code or configurations to gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, or manipulate data. It is crucial to keep software up to date with security patches to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
