Who Should Take This Course

  • Penetration Testers
  • Students interested in exploit development, but new to the area.
  • Students interested in expanding their knowledge into the area of exploit development.

“Zero to Hero exploit training for anyone taking the OSCP or OSCE”

Hack To Basics Builds A Solid Foundation In Exploitation

By the end of the course, students can expect to know the basics of x86 assembly, including some real world examples of exploiting vanilla EIP overwrites, SEH exploitation and using egg hunters. This will provide an entry to the world of exploit development and a strong foundation to work off in order to make it easier to transition to the newer, more advanced technologies which are in place today.

We will be using Python to construct our exploits, combined with a debugger such as Immunity or OllyDBG, it it is recommended to be familiar with both.

What You’ll Learn

  • Basic x86 Assembly and some python
  • Vanilla EIP buffer overflows
  • SEH exploitation techniques
  • Egghunters and various other techniques to help execute shellcode
