A consolidated tutorial series on Linux binary exploitation, covering memory layout, buffer overflows, shellcode injection, ret2libc, format string vulnerabilities, GOT overwrites, and heap exploitation. It includes lecture notes, example C binaries, and a Vagrant setup for a consistent practice environment.

Use cases

• learn binary exploitation from scratch
• understand buffer overflow attacks on linux
• practice writing shellcode exploits
• learn format string vulnerability exploitation
• study ret2libc and GOT overwrite techniques
• prepare for CTF pwn challenges
• learn heap exploitation like use-after-free and double free

When to choose

• you want a structured, lecture-based introduction to binary exploitation on Linux
• you need consolidated coverage from stack overflows to heap exploitation in one place
• you want hands-on practice binaries with a reproducible Vagrant environment

When to avoid

• you need a production security scanning or exploitation tool rather than learning material
• you want Windows or macOS binary exploitation
• you need up-to-date coverage of modern mitigations and kernel exploitation
