The Exploit Laboratory: Black Belt is an intense 2 day course carefully crafted to provide students a practical hands-on approach to exploiting modern day operating systems. The focus of the class is to bring participants up to speed on the complexities of exploit writing required for defeating modern exploit mitigation techniques.
The class begins with an introduction to browser and PDF exploits and moves quickly onto defeating exploit mitigation techniques like DEP and ASLR. Topics covered in the class include stack overflows, vtable pointer overwrites, advanced heap spraying, Return Oriented Programming (ROP) and Use-After-Free (UAF) bugs.
We end the class with a mini "Capture The Flag" contest where you shall put your newly acquired exploit writing skills to test in a near-real-world environment.
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 10 years have been working hard in putting together advanced material based on past feedback.
NOTE: THIS CLASS CAN BE COMBINED WITH "THE EXPLOIT LABORATORY: MASTER" (
https://www.blackhat.com/us-15/training/expoit-laboratory-master.html) AS A 4 DAY COURSE.
