5. Brief Introduction
Why Security?

6. Use of Assembly Language in Security
● Reverse Engineering
● Malware Analysis
● Fuzzing
● Buffer Overflows
● Hardcore Hacking i.e. exploiting systems
● Virus writing
● Software Vulnerability analyst

7. Reverse Engineering
● Fight of developers vs hackers i.e free stuff ;)
● Crack Me’s
● Android R.E
● Code Obfuscation

8. Buffer Overflows
Buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer,
overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations. This is a special case of the
violation of memory safety
Let’s see an example

10. Fuzzing
● Fuzz testing or Fuzzing is a Black Box software testing technique, which basically consists in finding
implementation bugs using malformed/semi-malformed data injection in an automated fashion.
● A shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software
vulnerability.

12. Virus
Let’s jump to an example

14. Other Engineering Subjects in Relation with Security
● Computer Networks
● Operating Systems
● Advanced Database Management Systems
● Open Source Technology e.g. Apache
● Virtualization
