Exploit Development For MIPS

This hands-on training course introduces students to exploit development in MIPS processor architecture. Exploit development on MIPS processors hasn't seen the attention that other architectures such as x86 and ARM got. With the growing IoT devices, we have been seeing many embedded devices with MIPS architecture alongside ARM. Exploit development is getting harder and harder with exploit mitigation techniques in place. But, the good news is that it is not impossible to write working exploits as exploit mitigation techniques do not fix the underlying problem in the vulnerable source code. This practical training starts with the basics of MIPS Architecture, Assembly language and slowly moves towards writing own MIPS shellcode and creating working exploits using Return Oriented Programming for a given target binary.
