دانلود Pentester Academy – x86 Assembly Language and Shellcoding on Linux

This course focuses on teaching the basics of 32-bit assembly language for the Intel Architecture (IA-32) family of processors on the Linux platform and applying it to Infosec. Once we are through with the basics, we will look at writing shellcode, encoders, decoders, crypters and other advanced low level applications.


A non-exhaustive list of topics to be covered include:

  • Computer Architecture Basics
  • IA-32/64 Family
  • Compilers, Assemblers and Linkers
  • CPU Modes and Memory Addressing
  • Tools of the trade
    • Nasm, Ld, Objdump, Ndisasm etc.
  • IA-32 Assembly Language
    • Registers and Flags
    • Program Structure for use with nasm
