Overview
The Exploit Laboratory: Black Belt is an intense 2 day course carefully crafted to provide students a practical hands-on approach to exploiting modern day operating systems. The focus of the class is to bring participants up to speed on the complexities of exploit writing required for defeating modern exploit mitigation techniques. We shall also explore kernel-land exploits in addition to user-land exploits.
Topics covered in the class include user mode and kernel mode exploitation, use-after-free bugs, Return Oriented Programming (ROP), advanced heap spraying, and Pwn2Own style exploitation using leaked pointers and dynamic ROP chains. Class examples include browser exploitation, PDF, and Flash exploits.
To add extra punch, we are introducing an all new section practical exploitation of browsers on the Android platform and working with ARM exploits. This is one class you don't want to miss!
As with the popular Exploit Laboratory, all topics are delivered in a down-to-earth, learn-by-example methodology. The same trainers who brought you The Exploit Laboratory for over 8 years have been working hard in putting together advanced material based on past feedback.
NOTE: THIS CLASS MAY BE COMBINED WITH "THE EXPLOIT LABORATORY" AS A 4 DAY COURSE.
