Project SECURITY
Introduction
As a developer, you might have to work on software that will be used by hundreds of people. You have learned to develop more or less complex programs without taking security into account. With this project, you will quickly realize it’s rather easy to exploit issues that can be very easily avoided. Once you’re through with this project, you will have a clearer understanding of the RAM. And this will really help you design a bugless program!
Objectives
This project aims to further your knowledge in the world of elf-like binary exploitation in i386 system. The more or less complex methods you will use will give you a new perspective on IT in general, but mostly raise your awareness on issues coming from programming common malpractice. You will be challenged during this project. You have to overcome these challenges by yourself. The way you’ll be dealing with these challenges must be yours and YOURS ONLY. The point is to help you develop some logic and acquire reflexes that will help you all along your career. Before asking for help, ask yourself if you have factored all the possibilities in.
