Do you want to learn to pwn? Have you ever wondered why you can’t just JMP to shellcode anymore? Are you frustrated by the current state of security education? If you answered yes to any of these questions- join us for a chat covering all of these topics. In this talk we’ll explore the cat-and-mouse game that is binary exploitation and talk about how the game has changed over the years. We will talk about some common binary exploitation techniques and the protections against them. Hopefully you will leave this talk feeling like this is something you could do- and links to many resources will be provided for further learning.
