Security for Hackers and Developers: Exploit Development

via Pluralsight

Overview

This course will help you understand how to prioritize your software security by teaching you how to exploit your security. Make the proper steps to become more secure.

With developers so overloaded, why should you prioritize security fixes? Because hackers are probably writing exploits against your product right now. You need to learn what that process entails to enable a deeper appreciation for the serious defenses needed. In this course, Security for Hackers and Developers: Exploit Development, you'll learn the ins and outs of how to write basic exploits. First, you'll explore control-flow hijacks such as function and return pointer overwrites. Next, you'll cover how to create and debug shellcode. Finally, you'll discover how to overcome common security mitigations using return-oriented programming (ROP). By the end of this course, you’ll know how to exploit programs with confidence, which gives you the skills to defend software, write exploits, or reverse engineer malware.
