This is fine IF the target .EXE or .DLL contains the functions you are
looking for, AND if you don't mind re-coding (or re-adjusting) the exploit
for each new overflow - with this method, you can write any exploit
algorithm you choose - use URLDownloadToCacheFileA or winsock as per your
preference, and it will work with ANY overflow situation.
