How are hackers able to find such complicated exploits?

In short: Weaponized Autism..
In some cases it is aided by specialized computer programs that look for flaws, but in nearly all cases it is smart people who are maddingly focused on things that aren’t right – and computer programs and logic aren’t ever ‘right’ (in truth 95% of all exploits are just variations on a common flawed concepts in how developers code and how people actually apply logic). There is also a dash of just wanting to know how things really work.
