Penetration Testing for Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

Memory corruption vulnerabilities occur when the contents of a memory location are modified, due to programmatic behavior that exceeds the intention of the original programmer, or program/language constructs. This type of programming error can lead to program crash or to strange and bizarre program behavior. This course teaches how to identify, test, and exploit these vulnerabilities.
