 Overview

In today’s world of information security wars it is important, or even mandatory, for security professionals to gain more advanced knowledge and keep their knowledge up to date. They should also have thorough hands on experience, so they can protect their enterprise’s information. It’s not for beginners ,as we expect that you already have a basic understanding of concepts presented in this course. Keep in mind that this course is presented solely for educational purposes and not for any unethical act or any type of cyber crime.

This workshop is not designed from scratch. If you are a newbie and don’t know much on how to setup your home environment for practicing hacking skills, don’t worry, the last module is dedicated to newbies and explains how to setup your home lab and what additional knowledge you need to progress in cyber security and ethical hacking.

You will learn how to discover vulnerabilities and write a working exploit. You will also learn about egg hunters: how they work and why we need them. You will also gain knowledge on types of shellcode and what they are designed for.  At the minimum, you will learn a handful of skills and techniques to start your career into security research, where you can work to discover vulnerabilities in Windows based applications working on TCP/IP. The best part of the course is that you will learn step-by-step techniques to perform vulnerability research and then start coding a working exploit for the discovered vulnerability.
