The Hidden RCE Surfaces That Control the Droids

This course aims to educate learners on the hidden Remote Code Execution (RCE) surfaces within the Android operating system that control various functionalities. The goal is to provide insights into the vulnerabilities present in the system's libraries when processing files from different sources. Students will learn about the internal libraries used by Android OS to handle files from both trusted and untrusted sources, such as those received via messaging apps, emails, or downloaded from the web. The course will cover the potential risks associated with processing files through different system applications. The teaching method involves a detailed exploration of the RCE surfaces present in the Android system, highlighting the specific APIs and libraries that are susceptible to exploitation. The course will provide practical examples and demonstrations to enhance understanding. This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals, Android developers, system administrators, and anyone interested in understanding the security implications of file processing within the Android ecosystem.
