You will learn about the use of buffer overflows and how an attacker can use these to create an exploit code. You will be able to implement different techniques to overcome buffer overflow vulnerability. This module will also explain libc and ‘how to return libc attacks’. Finally, you will learn what gadgets are in operating systems and how they can be used. <br /><br />This free course will be of great interest to computer science students and computer engineers, and anyone who wants to learn more about systems security in computer operating systems.<br /> Categories:
