Binary Exploitation Hands-On Workshop
Willis College - Ottawa Campus, 1200 St. Laurent Blvd St. Laurent Shopping Centre, Suite 20, Ottawa, ON, CAJoin us at BSides Ottawa Meetup for an interactive session where we dive into the world of binary exploitation with Leigh Trinity of Malware Village!
Participants will dissect compiled binaries, analyze program behaviour at the assembly level, and identify common vulnerability classes such as buffer overflows and memory corruption flaws.
This session emphasizes practical tradecraft: using industry-standard tooling (e.g., debuggers, disassemblers, and exploit development workflows) to understand how vulnerabilities are discovered and weaponized.
Whether you're building offensive skills or strengthening defensive detection capabilities, this workshop delivers operator-level insight into how exploitation actually works under the hood.
