Overview

The EC-Council Centre of Advanced Security Training has arrived at Firebrand Training. On this intensive three-day Exploit Development Overdrive course, you will learn how to write your own application exploits.

Warning: This is not a beginner’s course. It's highly-technical, with many hands-on labs. The course is right for you if you're an: experienced security professional, penetration tester, researcher or application developer.

You will learn how to:

  • Write your own exploits from scratch
  • Discover new vulnerabilities in applications
  • Use Metasploit as an exploit development framework
  • Exploit stack and heap overflows on both Linux and Windows
  • Bypass memory protection measures like DEP, ASLR, and Stack Canaries
  • Write your own shellcode on both Linux and Windows
  • Write stack- and heap-based buffer overflow exploits in both Perl and Python
  • Use debuggers like GDB, Ollydbg, and WinDebug

Note: this course doesn't include an exam, but you'll become Exploit Development Overdrive certified.

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with IT security best practices, the basics of TCP/IP networking, and basic programming concepts. You should also be familiar with Metasploit and VMware.

Knowledge of programming languages isn't necessary, but it is beneficial if you have exposure to a common programming or scripting language such as Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, or Assembly. A programming background is not required, but you will be writing lots of code in class.

Are you ready to get certified in record time?

We interview all applicants for the course on their technical background, degrees and certifications held, and general suitability. If you get through this screening process, it means you stand a great chance of passing.
