Corelan ADVANCED 2016

November 1-2-3rd

Corelan is back at Hackfest with “Advanced Win32 Exploitation” for the first time in Canada!

The Corelan® “ADVANCED” exploit development class is a fast-paced, mind-bending, hands-on course where you will learn advanced exploit development techniques from an experienced exploit developer.

This is most certainly not an entry level course. In fact, this is one of the finest and most advanced courses you will find on Win32 exploit development, targeting the Windows heap.

This hardcore, practical, hands-on course will provide students with solid understanding of current Win32 exploitation & memory protection bypass techniques. We make sure the course material is kept updated with current techniques, includes previously undocumented tricks and techniques, and details about research we performed ourselves. Combined with the way the course is built up, this will turn this class into a truly unique learning experience. During all of our courses, we don’t just focus on techniques and mechanics, but we also want to make sure you understand why a given technique is used, why something works and why something doesn’t work.

Those are just a few arguments that makes this training stand out between other exploit development training offerings. Feel free to check our testimonials page at https://www.corelan-training.com/index.php/testimonials/ if you want to see real, voluntary, unmodified and uncensored reactions by some of our students.

  • be ready to think out of the box and have a strong desire to learn
  • be fluent with managing Windows / Linux operating system and with using vmware workstation/virtualbox
  • be familiar with using Metasploit and writing exploit modules for Metasploit
  • be familiar with using debuggers
  • have basic knowledge of assembly

It’s imperative for students to comply with these prerequisites.
