Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Limited to 30 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: Familiarity with Linux
A week long course that will cover the inner workings of Linux binaries for the purpose of both understanding and exploitation. The course will include concepts such as ELF binary format, hex editors, debuggers, memory corruption, shellcoding, and return-oritented programming. Each class will have both a lecture component to go over new material and a hands-on component to put the new information to use. The only prerequisite is previous experience with Linux and Python. Previous experience with C, while not necessary, will be very helpful.

Here we'll cover the implications of what we've learned to real-world software and possibly hold a competition to use the concepts learned in the previous sessions.
