x86-64 Assembly
This class teaches you how to disassemble binaries, read x86-64 assembly language, and debug black-box binaries in WinDbg and GDB. This knowledge of assembly is the fundamental skill which is required to learn reverse engineering and vulnerability exploitation. Reverse engineering is in turn a fundamental skill which is required for malware analysis and vulnerability hunting.
C/C++ Implementation Vulnerabilities Part 1
Dual-purpose class: This class teaches developers how to avoid writing implementation flaws, or detect ones that are already in their code...but it also teaches vulnerability-hunters how to find the flaws as well! So it's an epic battle between contentious developers and devious vulnerability hunters! Who will win?! Whoever most takes the lessons of this class to heart!
Over three-dozen CVE writeups!
This class serves as a prerequisite for a future class that will add examples on uninitialized data access, race conditions, use-after-free, type confusion, and information disclosure vulnerabilities.
Full-Stack Pentesting Laboratory: 100% Hands-On + Lifetime LAB Access
Modern IT systems are complex and it’s all about full-stack nowadays. To become a pentesting expert, you need to dive into full-stack exploitation and gain a lot of practical skills. That’s why I created the Full-Stack Pentesting Laboratory.
For each attack, vulnerability and technique presented in this training there is a lab exercise to help you master full-stack pentesting step by step. What’s more, when the training is over, you can take the complete lab environment home to hack again at your own pace.
I found security bugs in many companies including Google, Yahoo, Mozilla, Twitter and in this training I’ll share my experience with you. The content of this training has been carefully selected to cover the topics most frequently requested by professional penetration testers.
Hunting the Adversary: Applying Cyber Threat Intelligence
Traditional security defence tools are increasingly unable to protect against emerging and current attacks. The modern attacker has adopted advanced tools and techniques that are unable to be stopped with traditional firewalls, intrusion detection and anti-virus. Meanwhile, dedicated attackers are attempting intrusions over months and years while going undetected to steal valuable information, trade secrets and financial information. Defence techniques that leverage information about attackers and their techniques, however, provide the ability to greatly enhance the security of an organization.
Modern defences can integrate intelligence and counterintelligence information which greatly increases the ability to keep attackers out and to detect their presence quickly. This course will teach students about the tools they can use to gain insight into attackers and to integrate them into their organization. This course will be a mix of lecture and hands-on training so students will be equipped on day one to go back to their work and start using threat intelligence to protect their networks.
Attacking Hybrid Multi-Cloud Environment
Enterprises across the globe are moving to the Hybrid Multi-Cloud Technology. The technical understanding and enormous cost of rewriting infrastructure-applied applications to re-platform and work with the new cloud concept is a difficult task. The irregularities caused due to mis-understanding / deficit knowledge of New Cloud Concepts offered by leading Cloud Service Providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure and GCP etc have introduced multiple loopholes easily identified and exploited by Threat Actors to abuse and exploit the organization infrastructure.
CyberWarFare Labs training on "Attacking Hybrid Multi-Cloud Environment" aims to provide the trainees with the insights of the offensive techniques used by the Red Teamers and Blue Teamers in an Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure.
x86-64 Intel Firmware Attack and Defense
This class is designed to give you all the background you need to understand how x86-64 firmware (aka UEFI BIOS) works, and what the most common security misconfigurations are. It will prepare you to be able to read and understand the existing attack and defense research in the space, taking an explicit walk through of the attack and defense moves and counter-moves threat tree. And as always, this classes teaches you to be comfortable with Reading The Fun Manual (RTFM!) to go seek out the most accurate details of how things work, and to see out new problems in new areas that no one's read yet with a security mindset.
C/C++ Implementation Vulnerabilities Part 2
Dual-purpose class: This class teaches developers how to avoid writing implementation flaws, or detect ones that are already in their code...but it also teaches vulnerability-hunters how to find the flaws as well! So it's an epic battle between contentious developers and devious vulnerability hunters! Who will win?! Whoever most takes the lessons of this class to heart!
Over three-dozen CVE writeups!
This class treats the material from C/C++ Implementation Vulnerabilities Part 1 as a prerequisite.
Xeno's All You Can Learn Buffet!
This is the combination class that lets you take any of the material(!) from the x86-64 Assembly, x86-64 OS Internals, x86-64 Intel Firmware Attack & Defense, C/C++ Implementation Vulnerabilities Part 1 and C/C++ Implementation Vulnerabilities Part 2 classes at your own pace, but with full instructor support.
RISC-V Assembly
RISC-V is the new hotness! It's going to take over the world! (Or is it? It is!) But what is RISC-V, and why should you care?
RISC-V is an open source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Or, in reality, a small, tight-nit family of ISAs and ISA extensions. The multiple ISAs allow it to be modular and be cut down to work for a 32-bit embedded system, or scaled up for a 64-bit desktop system.
But it's the open-source aspect of RISC-V which is what will make it take over. In a world where many embedded device makers use ARM ISAs, but have to pay ARM a licensing fee, what company wouldn't want to investigate making their chips without paying licensing fees to ARM, or Tensilica, or others? E.g. in 2022 Espresiff indicated they'll be using RISC-V exclusively for all future chips. So in the same way that Linux found some clearly beneficial early niches, and kept expanding from there, RISC-V has begun to find its niches, and natural market forces will cause it to continue expand.
This class teaches you how to disassemble binaries, read RISC-V assembly language, and debug black-box binaries in GDB. This knowledge of assembly is the fundamental skill which is required to learn reverse engineering and vulnerability exploitation. Reverse engineering is in turn a fundamental skill which is required for malware analysis and vulnerability hunting.
StealthOps: Red Team Tradecraft Targeting Enterprise Security Controls
Introducing a cutting-edge training program crafted to empower penetration testers, red team members, and blue team defenders with the advanced skills needed to combat and outmaneuver apex threat actors. In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, where attackers employ sophisticated methods such as in-memory implants, custom coding to bypass antivirus and EDR systems, and bespoke tools for lateral movement, the need for robust defensive strategies has never been more critical.
This course is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between conventional security measures and the advanced tactics utilized by adversaries, offering an in-depth exploration of the techniques and methodologies employed by these threat actors to evade host and network-level security solutions. Through a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes hands-on experience and real-world scenarios, participants will gain unparalleled insights into enhancing enterprise-grade security postures, ensuring readiness to detect, respond to, and neutralize advanced cyber threats with precision and stealth.
x86-64 OS Internals
This class teaches you about the fundamental hardware mechanisms which all operating systems, virtualization systems, and firmware *must* interact with in order to run successfully on x86 hardware. For instance it teaches you what an OS, virtualization, or firmware must do to separate user code (ring 3) from kernel code (ring 0). Or how they can enforce non-executable memory to make vulnerability exploitation more difficult. This is taught in a *mostly* OS-agnostic way focusing on Intel-isms rather than OS-isms (albeit with using Windows as reinforcement, thanks to its excellent kernel-level debugging support.) This class also teaches you to be comfortable with Reading The Fun Manual (RTFM!) to give you self-sufficiency when seeking out the most accurate details of how things work.
