• Discover the magic of strcpy() et. al.
• Learn how the stack works
• Put more stuff into buffers than they can hold
• Have fun exploiting!

This training will get you acquainted with the very basics of buffer overflow and format string exploitation. Additionally, recent countermeasures against those vulnerabilities will be introduced. For the practical hands-on part a Windows based machine with ollydbg 1.10 installed would be helpful ;)
