Public Mobile Exploitation Training – Fall 2023

by

Mobile Exploitation Training

We are pleased to announce that the researchers of Exodus Intelligence will be providing publicly available training in person on November 14 2023 in London, England.

This 4 day course is designed to provide students with both an overview of the Android attack surface and an in-depth understanding of advanced vulnerability and exploitation topics. Attendees will be immersed in hands-on exercises that impart valuable skills including static and dynamic reverse engineering, zero-day vulnerability discovery, binary instrumentation, and advanced exploitation of widely deployed mobile platforms.

Taught by Senior members of the Exodus Intelligence Mobile Research Team, this course provides students with direct access to our renowned professionals in a setting conducive to individual interactions.

Emphasis

Hands on with privilege escalation techniques within the Android Kernel, mitigations and execution migration issues with a focus on MediaTek chipsets.

Prerequisites
