Kernel Exploitation Intro

One of my plans was to learn about security[0]. My ToDo list is massively full of different topics I want to put some attention on. While reviewing some of that tasks, a quite recent topic crossed my list: kernel exploitation.

This topic was showing on my Twitter feed. It combines several fascinating subjects, I think. The Linux kernel, hacking, and obviously creating exploits. Because I suck at writing exploits, this will be a valuable practice.

Because I have tons of resources related to that matter, I like to share them here. Andrey Konovalov[1] has a good collection[2] of resources on this matter. Browsing through the collection of links, I saw a very novel course. It is the pwn.college[3].

Currently, I’m looking for someone I can do this course with. It should be nothing too crazy, just some to talk about problems and issues with potential solution attempts and so on.

Here are some other resources that might be useful to that topic but not directly associates with the topic. One resource that belongs to this is configuring gdb[5]. That’s one of the next steps I’m going to read through.

As one of the next steps, I’m going to read through the links.
