Wild West Hackin' Fest Way West 2020

Too often, those without reverse engineering skills are dissuaded from hunting vulnerabilities. While a deep level of technical depth is needed for advanced binary exploitation (use after free, heap overflows, etc), there's plenty of attack surface left for the rest of us. In his last WWHF talk, Jake shared techniques for privilege escalation that mostly rely on poorly configured software. In this next installment, he's diving deeper into poorly built software and showing you how you can use simple tools to assess the security of third party and custom applications - no reverse engineering skills are required!
