Course Overview & Objectives

Demystify low-level software vulnerabilities. Analyze compiled x86_64 and ARM binaries in Ghidra and GDB, construct Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) exploit chains to bypass DEP/NX and ASLR, and exploit heap memory corruption bugs.

What You Will Master

  • Reverse engineer complex compiled executables using Ghidra decompiler
  • Construct reliable stack buffer overflow exploits bypassing NX/DEP using ROP gadgets
  • Defeat Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) via memory leak techniques
  • Analyze heap chunk metadata and exploit Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerabilities

Prerequisites

  • C/C++ programming understanding
  • Familiarity with assembly language and computer memory architecture
