Description

The Advanced Exploit Laboratory for CanSecWest 2013 is an all new intermediate to advanced level class, for those curious to dig deeper into the art and craft of software exploitation. We begin with a quick overview of stack overflows, exception handler abuse, memory overwrites, and other core concepts. The class then moves on to use-after-free bugs and vtable overwrites, especially applicable to browser and PDF exploits. The class also spends a lot of time focusing on defeating modern day exploit mitigation techniques like DEP and ASLR using Return Oriented Programming (ROP).

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!

The Exploit Laboratory requires a lot of hands on work. Lab examples used in this class cover Linux, Windows and Android platforms, featuring popular third party applications and products instead of simulated lab exercises.

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 eight years have been working hard in putting together advanced material based on past feedback.

PREREQUISITE WARNING Each class has prerequisites for software loads and a laptop is mandatory. These individual class guides will list material the students are expected have knowledge about coming in and software tools that need to be pre-installed before attending so you get the maximum benefit from the focused intermediate or advanced level course. Please pay particular attention to the prerequisites, as the material listed there will not be reviewed in the courses, and will be necessary to get the maximum benefit out of these educational programs.
