Your work (for example) http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv.htm#realwin_2011 and other vulnerabilities abusing/exploits
are almost always written in C. I'm very interested in your work but because my goal is Reverse Engerneering and some other stuff I learned C for few months now. My question is if it's possible to make the same thing in C too. If so, what would be the pros and cons if it's written in C ?

Just curious to know what's the difference between C and C for minimal tools like my proof-of-concept code.

why did you decide to use C instead of C ? Doesnt C has more variety?

C is a superset language of C, you can code in C within C if you wanted to. C adds more modern things to the language but it is not required to be used at all.
He probably wrote the tools in C because it was what he is familiar with rather than C . Any of his tools can be ported and compiled as C with ease.
