I've played with some, and have some understanding of how they work, but the actual figuring out how to make them is beyond me; tips and etc would be welcome.

There are static analysis tools like splint and clang has one as well, that I could run over the code and look for "unsafe" functions that I could possibly exploit where they are used. Using this I will need a deeper understanding of buffer overflows, but I think it can be done. Are there other entrypoints to this as well?
