Update: Unfortunately we are cancelling the September meeting due to weather. We will reschedule this presentation for our next regular meeting on 11 October.

September is National Preparedness Month – so prepare yourself by joining us at the next RISE meeting to better understand the threats facing your IT systems. We will continue to explore tools and techniques that attackers use to exploit software for code execution and shell access.

At our August meeting Shane Kennedy introduced us to basic concepts of binary execution and methods that attackers can use to smash the stack and insert code for shell access. Now he’ll be expanding on those concepts to show additional tools and techniques that are used to bypass normal execution and gain unauthorized access privileges. Don’t despair if you missed part 1 as there will be plenty of visuals and demonstrations to get you right up to speed.
