Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Binary analysis is a foundational skill in cybersecurity, reverse engineering, and software development, especially in Linux environments where understanding executable behavior is crucial. The course Hands-on Binary Analysis in Linux – Part 1 introduces learners to the internal structure and execution flow of binary files, focusing on the widely-used ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). As attackers often exploit binaries, and defenders must understand their intricacies, gaining hands-on expertise in this domain is essential for security analysts, ethical hackers, and developers alike.

This course begins with a comprehensive breakdown of the ELF binary format, starting from the compiling and linking processes to parsing and manipulating ELF files. It then moves on to essential analysis techniques, covering dual-mode operations, static and dynamic analysis, and exploring how ELF binaries are loaded and executed in a Linux environment. In the final section, learners dive into advanced topics such as process tracing, protector and packer techniques, the use of ptrace, binary emulation, instrumentation, and symbolic execution—essential tools and concepts for real-world binary inspection and manipulation.

By the end of the course, learners gain a strong foundational understanding of ELF binaries and binary analysis techniques essential for reverse engineering and vulnerability assessment.
