Michigan, US, 16th August 2024, ZEX PR WIRE<\/a>,<\/strong> Guided Hacking is excited to announce the launch of its new Binary Exploit Development Course<\/span>, aimed at breaking down the complex concepts behind binary exploitation and bringing this craft to a larger audience. This in-depth course is designed to take learners from foundational concepts to advanced techniques in exploit development, starting with the essential topic of buffer overflows but also going over complicated tasks like bypassing security features and fuzzing for new bugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey begins with an in-depth explanation of exploiting simple buffer overflows using VulnServer<\/span>. This foundational chapter, available since September 3, 2022, guides students through reversing the VulnServer application using IDA Free, a popular disassembler. Participants will learn how to exploit a direct RET overwrite, a fundamental technique in binary exploitation. By the end of this chapter, you will be equipped to overwrite the return address during runtime, redirecting execution flow to their custom shellcode. This becomes the foundation of the course, with each chapter building upon this basic technique & adapting it to various increasingly difficult situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guided Hacking\u2019s Exploit Development Course is meticulously structured to provide a step-by-step learning experience. Each module builds upon the previous one, ensuring you don\u2019t get lost or confused. The course includes lessons on buffer overflows, bypassing memory security features like <\/span>Data Execution Prevention<\/span><\/a> & deploying malicious shellcodes. Students will learn about a variety of different buffer overflow exploits including SEH-based overflows, which use the Windows Structured Exception Handler to gain reliable control over execution. The course also covers writing an exploit stager, handling large shellcodes with Winsock-based exploit stagers, and techniques for reusing existing sockets to bypass space restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advanced Techniques and Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the curriculum, learners will explore how to bypass DEP stack protection using Return Oriented Programming to bypass Data Execution Prevention, employing VirtualAlloc & WriteProcessMemory for DEP bypass. Advanced exploit techniques include:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Writing ROP decoders & leveraging pwntools for efficient exploit development<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Overcoming <\/span>Address Space Layout Randomization<\/span><\/a> with partial RET overwrites<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n
Transitioning from Windows to Linux exploitation by setting up a Linux VM and using gdb for debugging<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Specialized Modules<\/strong><\/p>\n
The course also introduces students to egg hunter shellcode, while the term \u201cegg hunter\u201d might sound funny, this little trick to locate shellcode in memory will help you handle inaccessible memory regions to ensure reliable exploitation. Participants will learn to exploit use-after-free vulnerabilities to control the instruction pointer by understanding heap memory management and leveraging freed memory for arbitrary code execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expert Instructor<\/strong><\/p>\n
The course is led by a seasoned red team operator whose hacker handle is <\/span>Nop,<\/span><\/em>\u00a0he has extensive experience in information security & exploit development. Having begun his infosec journey through university programs and certifications such as OSCP and OSED, the instructor now specializes in reverse engineering and binary exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n
He actually started as a student of Guided Hacking in 2020 and later applied for a job posting to make educational content for GH, this is a real success story showcasing the value of GH. His detailed and engaging tutorials show his passion for teaching and research. He regularly shares his knowledge at universities and conferences, making him a well known figure in the cybersecurity community.<\/span><\/p>\n
