Talk: Mal "Capture the Flag - Learning Security by Example"

Mal has agreed to give us some insights into security hacking.

This talk starts by providing a short overview of CTF.
After that, a typical Binary Exploitation task gets analyzed and solved.
Finally, an exploit will be developed for a recent real world bug.

Capture the Flag (CTF) is a kind of IT security competition and it offers an accessible practical introduction to this field. The goal of such a competition is to gather points by solving tasks and obtaining a flag as a proof. Tasks typically belong to a certain category such as Binary Exploitation, Reverse Engineering, Web or Cryptography. The harder the task is, the more points it is worth.

Please invite all the C++ peers around you!
