Offensive Software Exploitation (OSE) Course
Offensive Software Exploitation (OSE) Course
This repository is for the Offensive Software Exploitation Course I am teaching at Champlain College and currently doing it for free online (check the YouTube channel for the recordings). Most of the slide notes I used are already shared on HTID Course, but the labs were fully created by myself. I used publically available resources and software to explain each of the weaknesses covered, so there is nothing here that you cannot find online.
Vulnerable Software
The vulnerable software I used is also online and can be found at Exploit-db. I also used Stephen Bradshaw’s VulnServer, plus maybe some other simple code that I prepared. Please check each lab for the software used in that specific lab and from where to download it.
