Udemy – Linux Binary Analysis for Ethical Hackers and Pentesters 2025-1

Participants will then learn how to use tools such as GDB to trace functions, examine dynamic and static disassembly, and analyze system calls and strings in ELF files. Special attention is paid to identifying hidden items, extracting byte order, and manipulating library files to prepare participants for analyzing real malware. The course also covers advanced techniques such as code injection and static code injection within ELF binaries. By the end of this course, participants will have mastered the tools and techniques for tracing, analyzing, and exploiting ELF files and will have strengthened their ethical hacking skills.
