An Introduction to Shellcode
More updates for the Society of Lectors!
The next group of lectures is occurring tomorrow, Tuesday March 24th, 2008 in the first floor auditorium (room 1400) of GCCIS (building 70) at RIT. We are meeting at 8:00PM, and this new day and time has been settled on for the near future.
The reason I’m especially excited about tomorrow is that I am lecturing! I’ve been given the go-ahead to give a series of lectures on shellcode, a fairly heady computer security topic that is never taught in classes. Part one of the series is a very general, non-technical overview and topic introduction that is accessible to those of all backgrounds. After building a solid base of understanding, we’ll really dive into things with later lectures. Afterward, I’ll post the slides here and to the Society of Lectors group, as well as publish a corollary technical component for those that didn’t have their appetites whetted by the presentation. My blurb:
Computer hackers continue to be the bane of the networked computer - but have you ever wondered exactly how they strike? In part one of this series, we will dive into a very accessible view of how they gain control of computers they do not possess.
Heewa Barfchin is also presenting on neural networks from biological and computer model perspectives. Tomorrow should be great!
