Скачать или смотреть Binary Exploitation: Finding ROP Gadgets for Beginners

When modern security protections like Data Execution Prevention (DEP) or the NX bit stop you from executing shellcode on the stack, you have to get creative. Enter Return-Oriented Programming (ROP).

In this binary exploitation tutorial, we explore how attackers bypass memory protections by "living off the land"—using the program's own code instructions against itself. We will dive deep into the tool Ropper to identify, analyze, and chain together these instruction fragments known as "gadgets."

Whether you are training for the OSCP, playing CTFs, or researching vulnerability development, understanding ROP is a non-negotiable skill.

In this video, you will learn:

• The Theory: What ROP is and why it defeats DEP/NX protections.
• The Tool: Advanced usage of Ropper beyond the basic commands.
• The Hunt: Strategies for finding high-value gadgets (POP, RET, etc.) within a binary.
• The Chain: How to logically link multiple instructions to manipulate registers and control execution flow.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and security research only. All demonstrations are performed in a controlled, isolated lab environment. The goal is to understand exploitation techniques to build better defenses.
