This course, led by the seasoned expert Max Kamper, is designed for security enthusiasts, penetration testers, and anyone curious about mastering memory corruption vulnerabilities.

Course Highlights:

• Historical Context & Fundamentals: Understand the evolution of heap exploitation techniques from the "Unsafe Unlink" to the advanced "House of Orange." (🕰️)
• GNU C Library (GLIBC): Explore the intricacies of GLIBC, a crucial component of most Linux systems, and learn how it can be leveraged in exploitation. (📚)
• Practical Skills: Combine theory with practice by applying exploitation techniques to real-world scenarios using pwntools and pwndbg. (👨‍🏫🖥️)

What You'll Learn:

• Heap Exploitation Techniques: Gain a deep understanding of heap exploitation methods and how they can be used to compromise systems. (🔍)
• Hands-On Experience: Work on challenging problems and exercises that will test and refine your skills. (💪)
• Essential Tools: Learn to use pwntools and pwndbg to debug, develop, and exploit vulnerable binaries effectively. (🛠️)
• Safe & Unsafe Functions: Identify which GLIBC functions can be safely used and which can lead to vulnerabilities. (🚨)
• Heap Fengshui: Understand the layout of heap objects and how to manipulate them to your advantage. (🏠)

Course Outline:

1. Introduction to Heap Exploitation: We'll kick off by discussing the history, importance, and potential of heap exploits in the security landscape.
2. Understanding GLIBC's Memory Allocator: A deep dive into how GLIBC handles memory allocation, and how this can be abused.
3. Heap Overflows & Padding: Learn how to perform buffer overflows within the heap context and understand the role of padding in exploits.
4. Use-After-Free (UAF) Exploitation: Discover how to exploit UAF vulnerabilities to achieve code execution.
5. Heap Spraying & ROP: Master the art of spraying large amounts of data on the heap and constructing a Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) chain to achieve arbitrary code execution.
6. Exploit Development: Apply your knowledge by developing your own exploits against practice binaries designed to challenge your skills.
