This month the Grand Rapids ISSA gets technical. Reverse engineering, shell coding and “pwning” things. These hacking skills can seem daunting, but this talk is aimed at a wide audience including beginners. This talk will cover how to leverage a known user validation bug from a segfault to a shell. We’ll then upgrade our exploit to bypass increasingly better mitigations through the years, and discuss resources to continue improving.

About our Speaker:

Jaime is an electrical engineer turned software developer turned security researcher. Her experience spans embedded systems to web and mobile apps to automotive. She caught the infosec bug through playing CTFs, and now works at GRIMM hacking cars. When she’s not adding LEDs to things or volunteering with her local software community, she can be found taking her dog for overdue walks.
