I recently rooted my device which got me curious regarding the process. I would really like to understand how rooting applications work under the hood. Articles I have found over the internet have been very vague. I really would like to root my device all by myself. How can I get started with the same? Id really appreciate some guidance and/or pointers.

    Have you done any research on say forum.xda-developers.com that would probably be your best bet. Or even freaktab.com they have some really nice people willing to help out and point better direction.

Basically, it involves exploiting some vulnerabilities(for example, a buffer overflow) in Linux kernel to gain advanced privileges. The exact technique used varies with devices and Android versions.

This Stackoverflow answer should give some idea.
Androidcentral has a page that gives more information on root.
