A university course repository teaching vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and binary exploitation through hands-on labs.
What is CSCI 4968?
Modern Binary Exploitation (MBE) is an open-source university course repository that teaches practical offensive security skills. It provides a complete curriculum with lectures, labs, and a custom wargame environment for learning binary exploitation and reverse engineering. The materials cover foundational concepts like buffer overflows and shellcoding, progressing to advanced topics such as kernel exploitation and modern mitigation bypasses.
Computer science students, security enthusiasts, and developers with C/C++ and basic assembly experience who want to learn binary exploitation from scratch. It's ideal for those entering cybersecurity or preparing for CTF competitions.
MBE offers a rare, academically-structured path into binary exploitation with hands-on labs and a pre-configured learning environment. Unlike fragmented online resources, it provides a complete, progression-based curriculum developed and tested in a university setting.
