I cannot find any citations that establish notability. Plenty of cites for format string attacks, but not for the exploit described here. Article has had unreferenced tag since December 2009, Notability tag and Technical tags since March 2008. Last edit (other than minor typo fixes and such) was in 2007, and there have never been any discussions on the talk page. Guy Macon 22:53, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's also extremely unclear and downright inaccurate; for example, many languages have comment characters but most of those languages only obey them when parsing program files for execution, not user input. Elizium23 (talk) 02:19, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Google search on "Asciiz exploit" produces hits. "Comment character exploit" also shows some hits such as this one. So this may not be a question of "is this notable", since the idea of "exploits using strings" seems to be both notable and interesting, but "is this salvageable". Have all of the major editors been notified? Unscintillating (talk) 04:45, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
