Deep dive into fuzzing (17–18 Sept 2024)
In “Deep dive into fuzzing” Dhiraj and Zubin will be covering a detailed overview of fuzzing and how it can be beneficial to professionals in uncovering security vulnerabilities with a hands-on approach through a focus on labs.
The course has been cancelled.
Presented by: Dhiraj Mishra and Zubin Devnani
Fuzzing is a technique of identifying software vulnerabilities by automated corpus generation. It has produced immense results and attracted a lot of visibility from security researchers and professionals in the industry, today fuzzing can be utilised in various ways which can be incorporated into your secure SDLC to discover vulnerabilities in advance and fix them.
Finding vulnerabilities in software requires in-depth knowledge of different technology stacks. Modern day software’s have a huge codebase and may contain vulnerabilities. Manually verifying such vulnerabilities is a tedious task and may not be possible in all cases. This training is designed in such a way that it introduces the concept of fuzzing and vulnerability discovery in software’s covering multiple platforms such as Linux & Windows and triage analysis for those vulnerabilities.
During this training, attendees would be emulating techniques which would provide a comprehensive understanding of “Crash, Detect & Triage” of fuzzed binaries or software. In “Deep dive into fuzzing” we will be covering a detailed overview of fuzzing and how it can be beneficial to professionals in uncovering security vulnerabilities with a hands-on approach through focus on labs.

Zubin Devnani is a red teamer by trade, who has identified multiple vulnerabilities in commonly used software. He is a trainer at Blackhat, BruCON and OWASP and has delivered multiple workshops, including PHDays and Hacktivity. Utilizes his fuzzing skills in his day-to-day trade to identify new ways of breaking into enterprises! Blogging at devtty0.io and tweets on @p1ngfl0yd.
The two-day course will take place on 17 and 18 September 2024 at the Novotel London West.
The price is £1,800 (inc VAT/£1,500 ex VAT).
Conference and training tickets are non-refundable as per our Terms of Service.
This ticket is NOT transferable (i.e. you cannot use it one day and pass it to someone the other — you can however change the name on it if circumstances change and you can’t attend).
The course will be cancelled if minimum numbers are not reached so book early to avoid disappointment.
