OffSec - Windows User Mode Exploit Development - OSED

EXP-301 is an intermediate course that teaches the skills necessary to bypass DEP and ASLR security mitigations, create advanced custom ROP chains, reverse-engineer a network protocol and even create read and write primitives by exploiting format string specifiers.

Windows User Mode Exploit Development (EXP-301) is a course that teaches learners the basics of modern exploit development. Despite being a fundamental course, it is at the 300 level because it relies on substantial knowledge of assembly and low level programming. It begins with basic buffer overflow attacks and builds into learning the skills needed to crack the critical security mitigations protecting enterprises. Learners who complete the course and pass the exam earn the OffSec Exploit Developer (OSED) certification.
