Applied Source Code Fuzzing
This technique is gaining massive popularity in the security community for one simple reason: Fuzzing has proven itself to be very effective in discovering bugs and vulnerabilities in software systems. In this course you will not only learn to use the technique, but you will be introduced to the latest methods as well. Having finished this course, you will be able to start finding bugs using fuzzing and go deeper into the topic all on your own.

Understanding Code Injections From Beginner To Advanced
Code injection is a technique that is becoming increasingly prevalent in attacks and data breaches. Both malware writers and dedicated penetration teams rely on these techniques to bypass defenses and achieve persistence. This course gives a comprehensive coverage of code injection techniques and will teach the student how to analyse, reverse engineer and write applications that use code injections. As such, this course is focused on both defensive and offensive techniques as well as development and code analysis.
Skills and concepts you will learn
Process injection
evasion
full-system propagation
AV-bypass
Code-reuse attacks
ROP
Reverse engineering
Malware unpacking
Import table destruction
Dynamic analysis
End-point protection
Red-teaming
LLVM In-Depth For Security Engineering And Program Analysis
LLVM is a collection of modules and software packages for program analysis and compiler technologies that is used to write security-aware compilers, sophisticated fuzzers, large-scale vulnerability discovery techniques, symbolic executors and much more. This course is centred around two core parts. First, it will cover the internals of LLVM and how to write applications that use LLVM to solve program analysis problems. Second, it will introduce the student to several important open-source security tools that use LLVM and are already deployed by many enterprises.
Skills and concepts you will learn
