Binary Exploitation Learning Repository

Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently learning Binary Exploitation and related security concepts over the next few months, and this repository is my public learning log.

Everything I learn from basics to advanced techniques—will be documented here in a structured way.

📚 What this repo contains

• Step-by-step learning notes on Binary Exploitation
• Practical examples and vulnerable programs
• Free hands-on labs created by me
• Writeups for each challenge
• Exploitation techniques explained in a simple way

🧪 Lab Structure

For every topic, you will find:

• 3 custom challenges (Easy → Medium → Hard)
• Source code of vulnerable programs
• Setup instructions
• solution.md explaining the exploitation step-by-step

You are expected to set up the lab environment yourself before solving the challenges.

🎯 Goal of this repo

This repo is meant to help learners:

• Understand how vulnerabilities actually work
• Practice exploitation in a safe environment
• Build intuition for real-world security bugs
• Improve problem-solving in CTF-style scenarios

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/alhamrizvi-cloud/Binary-Exploitation.git
   cd Binary-Exploitation

2. Set up your environment (GCC, GDB, etc.)

3. Start with the basics in 01. Basics.md

🚀 Progress

I’ll keep updating this repo regularly as I learn new concepts like:

• Stack-based exploitation
• Buffer overflows
• Format string bugs
• Return-oriented programming (ROP)
• Linux exploitation basics

🤝 Contributing / Learning Together

Contributions are welcome! If you find any issues or have suggestions:

• Open an issue
• Submit a pull request
• Share your solutions or improvements

Feel free to follow along, fork the repo, and learn with me.
If you're also learning, you can try solving the challenges and compare approaches.
