Project 10: Exploit Development & Binary Exploitation
Learn how to discover software vulnerabilities, write exploits, and analyze binary security weaknesses.
Exploit Development & Binary Exploitation
Overview
Exploiting vulnerabilities is a key aspect of penetration testing and offensive security. This project introduces students to binary exploitation techniques, including buffer overflows, return-oriented programming (ROP), and shellcode execution. Students will learn how attackers manipulate memory to gain control over applications and how to mitigate these attacks.
What You Will Learn
- Identifying and analyzing memory vulnerabilities
- Writing buffer overflow exploits
- Using return-oriented programming (ROP) techniques
- Crafting and executing shellcode
- Debugging and reverse engineering binaries
Hands-On Learning
Students will gain experience using:
- GDB & PEDA for binary analysis and debugging
- pwntools for exploit development
- Radare2 & Ghidra for reverse engineering
- ASLR & DEP bypass techniques

Exploit Development & Binary Exploitation Lab
Exploit Development & Binary Exploitation Lab Overview This lab focuses on offensive security techniques involving binary exploitation and exploit development. Students will learn how to analyze vulnerable binaries, manipulate memory, and craft custom exploits to gain unauthorized access. What You Will Learn Understanding memory corruption vulnerabilities (buffer overflows, format string exploits, heap exploitation) Using debuggers to analyze binary behavior Writing custom exploits in Python Bypassing security protections like ASLR and DEP Lab Instructions 1.
