Exploit development

Exploit development is a critical skill in offensive cybersecurity that involves creating or modifying code to exploit security flaws in systems, services, or applications. Coursera's Exploit Development catalogue teaches you how to identify vulnerabilities, analyze root causes, and develop working exploits for various security weaknesses. You'll learn to create proof-of-concept exploits, integrate payloads, and apply stabilization and evasion techniques for common exploit types such as buffer overflows, use-after-free vulnerabilities, format string bugs, and command injections. Mastering exploit development empowers cybersecurity professionals to think like attackers, conduct advanced penetration tests, and contribute to vulnerability research, making it an essential skill for ethical hackers, red team operators, and security researchers in today's evolving threat landscape.
