x86_64 Assembly Language and Shellcoding on Linux - Pentester Academy torrent

This course focuses on teaching the basics of 64-bit assembly language for the x86_64 family of processors on the Linux platform and applying it to Infosec. Once we are through with the basics, we will look at writing shellcode, encoders, decoders, crypters, and other advanced low-level applications.
