Advanced Windows Exploitation (AWE)

lt;pgt;Modern exploits for Windows-based platforms require modern bypass methods to circumvent Microsoftamp;rsquo;s defenses. In Advanced Windows Exploitation (EXP-401), OffSec challenges students to develop creative solutions that work in todayamp;rsquo;s increasingly difficult exploitation environment.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;The case studies in AWE are large, well-known applications that are widely deployed in enterprise networks. The course dives deep into topics ranging from security mitigation bypass techniques to complex heap manipulations and 64-bit kernel exploitation.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;AWE is a particularly demanding penetration testing course. It requires a significant amount of student-instructor interaction. Therefore, we limit AWE courses to a live, hands-on environment.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;This is the hardest course OffSec offer and it requires a significant time investment. Students need to commit to reading case studies and reviewing the provided reading material each evening.lt;/pgt;
