Exploit Dev — The Toolkit

You understand the machine and the stack frame — now get fluent with the tools you drive them with. We cover the four-stage exploit loop, reading a target with checksec and static recon, GDB supercharged with GEF/pwndbg, breakpoints and stepping, the x/ examine grammar, pwntools end to end, gadget hunting with ROPgadget/ropper, and a reusable exploit skeleton that runs local, under GDB, or remote from one flag.
