A Journey into Binary Exploitation

TLDRJoin me on a learning quest to explore the world of binary exploitation. We'll delve into low-level concepts, offensive binary executables, and uncover core concepts in an engaging and fun way!

Key insights

🕵️‍♂️Binary exploitation involves the manipulation of binary executables at a low level

🧠The series aims to help beginners understand core concepts and have fun breaking code

🌐ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) files are the focus of the series, particularly on Linux

🏋️‍♂️Basic knowledge of Linux and programming concepts is sufficient as a prerequisite for the series

⚙️ELF files consist of headers, sections, and instructions, which come together to form a process

Q&A

Why should I watch this series even though there is already content available on the internet?

This series offers a unique learning experience where I, as a beginner, explore binary exploitation concepts while making videos about my learning journey. You can learn alongside me and enjoy a fresh perspective.

What are the prerequisites for this series?

Basic knowledge of Linux and the ability to read code, such as understanding conditions and loops, is sufficient to follow the series. I will explain concepts line by line in future videos.

What is an ELF file?

ELF stands for 'Executable and Linkable Format.' It is a binary file format used on Linux for executable files. ELF files contain headers, sections, and instructions that constitute the program.

What will I learn in this series?

This series aims to cover core concepts in binary exploitation, such as understanding ELF files, memory layout, stack attacks, and more. You will gain insights into the world of low-level programming and have fun breaking code.

How do I join the learning quest?

You can join the learning quest by watching the series on the designated YouTube channel. Additionally, you can join our Discord server to ask questions and engage with the community.
