Content

Simple exploitation techniques like stack based buffer overflows, or format string attacks are likely to be of no significance in near future - either due to new stack protection techniques, advanced compilers or high-level programming languages. This seminar is about actively discovering, developing and describing new and innovative exploitation techniques.

Note that intensive knowledge of classical exploitation techniques is unconditional precondition to participate in this seminar. This includes their pre-conditions, practical exploitation, defeating them, and their theoretical background.

Requirements

  • Vordiplom in Computer Science (Diploma students), or similar
  • Successful participation in one of the "Hacking Lab" practical labs or similar qualification (please give exact details in registration!)

How to get the certificate?

Each participant has to fulfil the following criteria:
