Are you tried of using NOPS? Control is Everything!
Attending the Corelan Expert-level Stack Exploit Development class was the best decision that I have made to date on my Exploit Development journey. I came into the course already familiar with many of the core concepts on the course agenda. Having had exposure to them as I am also taking the OSED class and preparing to take the certification exam as well. Prior to taking Peter’s course, my exploit knowledge had been 100% self-directed study. Self-study filled with highs and lows. Periods where motivation was high as some concepts were easy to grasp. And other periods where motivation was low due to not understanding the “why’s” or “how’s” on self-directed course material. And when I couldn’t get to a definitive answer on why something worked vs when it didn’t.
Peter’s class is a great opportunity for those who are completely new to exploit development and for those that are initiated but still have doubts. Taking this course has allowed me to learn the methodology and best practices from someone who has been doing this for a long time (over 20 years). Introducing concepts and ideas in a way that the material builds on itself explaining every step of the way, the “why’s” and “how’s” of stack based exploit development. Peter’s teaching style is of the no non-sense, direct, straight-to-business type. Encouraging growth and self-mastery of the material. Much like Morpheus from “The Matrix”, Peter teaches from a perspective and with insights that will challenge any preconceived notions that are not based on fact or empirical evidence. Peter stresses that exploit development is a science. Always knowing your why to what you are doing, aka follow the methodology.
The best value for taking the course are the additional lab exercises and continued support once the class over. Allowing for true mastery of the material through lots and lots of practice. I have already signed up to take Peter’s Heap Exploitation Masterclass in Sydney having seen the attention to detail and the passion/mastery Peter has in the material I know I can expect much of the same high quality training.
