Vulnerability Assessment Course – Spring 2023

by

We are pleased to announce that the researchers of Exodus Intelligence will be providing publicly available training in person on March 28 2023 in Austin, TX.

The intermediate course, titled the Vulnerability Assessment Class, covers a wide range of vulnerability and exploitation related topics and is intended for the beginner to intermediate level practitioner. This course is intended to prepare the student to fully defend the modern enterprise by being aware and equipped to assess the impact of vulnerabilities across the breadth of the application space.

Attendees should plan to travel and arrive prior to Tuesday, March 28th. The course work will conclude on Friday, March 31st, 2023.

Seating is limited. Since this training will be in person, there are a limited number of seats available.

**Later this year we will also be offering an updated version of our popular Vulnerability Development Master Class. This course will cover advanced topics such as dynamic reverse engineering, kernel exploitation concepts, browser exploitation, mitigation bypasses, and other topics. Later this year we will also be offering our Mobile Vulnerability Exploitation Class. This class will cover advanced topics concerning mobile platforms.

Vulnerability Assessment Class

This 4 day course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive and progressive approach to understanding vulnerability and exploitation topics on both the Linux and Windows platforms. Attendees will be immersed in hands-on exercises that impart valuable skills including a deep dive into the various types of vulnerabilities exploited today, static and dynamic reverse engineering, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation of widely deployed server and client-side applications. This class will cover a lot of material and move very quickly.

Prerequisites

    • Computer with ability to run a virtual machines (recommended 16GB+ memory)

    • Some familiarity with debuggers, Python, C/C++, x86 ASM. IDA Pro or Ghidra experience a plus.

  • No prior vulnerability discovery experience is necessary

Pricing and Registration

The cost for the 4-day course is $4000 USD per student. You may register and pay below, or you can e-mail [email protected] to register and we will supply a purchase order.

Exodus Intelligence has been authorized by the CVE Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA).

Exodus Intelligence, the leader in Vulnerability Research, today announced it has been authorized by the CVE Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA).  As a CNA, Exodus is authorized to assign CVE IDs to newly discovered vulnerabilities and publicly disclose information about these vulnerabilities through CVE Records.

“Exodus is proud to be authorized as a CVE Numbering Authority which will allow us to work even more closely with the security community in identifying critically exploitable vulnerabilities,” said Logan Brown, Founder and CEO of Exodus.

The CVE Program is sponsored by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in close collaboration with international industry, academic, and government stakeholders. It is an international, community-based effort with a mission to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The mission of CVE is to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The discovered vulnerabilities are then assigned and published to the CVE List, which feeds the U.S. National Vulnerability Database (NVD). Exodus joins a global list of 269 trusted partners across 35 countries committed to strengthening the global cyber security community through discovering and sharing valuable cyber intelligence.
