InfoSect Training Demographics for 2021

InfoSect is an Australian based training computer security company that started in 2016, offering professional training from the end of 2018. 

In 2021 we had the following courses on offer:

  • Reverse Engineering
  • Code Review
  • Linux Heap Exploitation
  • Browser (JS Engine) Exploitation
  • IoT Security
InfoSect teaches both in-person (COVID-19 permitting) and live, interactive online training options and keeps low class sizes.  

The following are the demographics of our course offerings for 2021 taken from course booking details and post-course surveys.

Geography

InfoSect was traditionally a local training company, but opened itself up to International training in 2020 when we began offering live, online training delivery. In 2021 InfoSect's overseas' students made up just under 20% of its trainings. 

The below graph shows a breakdown of the continent the students were located. It is apparent that we are still primarily an Australian training company.

Delivery Format

In 2020 InfoSect began offering online training due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. This made up almost the entire offering for 2020. In 2021 we've seen a slow return to face-to-face training. Still over 75% of our trainings ofr 2021 were delivered online.

Job Title*

After every course students were given an optional survey to fill in, with an optional, open-ended question on Job Title. Below are indicative of the types of people that came and attended InfoSect training in 2021.

Qualifications

We were interested in prior qualifications of students before attending InfoSect training. Below are the answers given on our survey form.

3 Year Training Growth

The following graph shows the number of students we have trained for the past 3 years as a percentage of total.

This growth has been organic without any budget allocated to sales or marketing for InfoSect. At the end of 2021 we have 7 staff working at InfoSect, all technical practioners.

Thank you to our customers and colleagues for a wonderful year of training and development in the infosec community. We hope to continue delivering the same quality of training based on real, modern research into the future.

*Only 35% of students filled in details of their Job Title and Qualifications on the post-course surveys

    Excellent information! I've always been interested in the InfoSect learning demographics. In addition, at the moment I am studying the article essay length https://wr1ter.com/college-essay-length . I'm sure it will help me write competent essays.

    Some students are constantly engaged in their university Law assignment writing, and they didn't get actual topics, you have shared such a nice work at this blog, which is very helpful to numerous students.

C++ Memory Corruption (std::vector) - part 2

Summary This is the 2nd part of the C++ memory corruption series*. In this post, we'll look at corrupting the std::vector class in Linux and see what exploitation primitives we can gain. We'll see that we can build arbitrary read/write primitives. * https://blog.infosectcbr.com.au/2020/08/c-memory-corruption-part-1.html   Author: Dr Silvio Cesare Introduction C++ is a common language for memory corruption. However, there is much more literature on exploiting C and not C++ programs. C++ presents new classes, objects, and data structures which can all be effectively used for building exploitation primitives.  In this post, we'll look at the std::vector class and see what specific primitives we can obtain.  Let's start by looking at /usr/include/c++/bits/stl_vector.h namespace std _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY ( default ) { _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_CONTAINER /// See bits/stl_deque.h's _Deque_base for an explanation. template < typename

Pointer Compression in V8

Image
Syed Faraz Abrar @farazsth98   Summary In this blog post, I will provide some details on how the Chromium developers implemented pointer compression in V8. I will also talk about what this means from an exploit development perspective. Introduction I’ve been an intern at InfoSect for the past couple of weeks now, and in this time, I’ve had to do a bunch of security related research into both V8 and Spidermonkey. One of the things that I spent a short amount of my time on was pointer compression in V8. I hadn’t heard of the term at all until Bruno Keith ( @bkth_ ) mentioned it on twitter some time in December last year. The V8 developers also made a blog post to celebrate V8 v8.0 where they mentioned that implementing pointer compression had allowed them to save up to 40% in usage of heap memory! That’s a big improvement, so let’s take a look at what pointer compression is and what it means from an exploit developer’s perspective. Disclaimer This is not intended to

Linux Kernel Stack Smashing

Dr Silvio Cesare @silviocesare   Summary In this blog post I’ll discuss how to exploit the Linux kernel via a stack smashing attack. I’ll be attacking the latest kernel version. I’ll also introduce a vulnerable device driver that I wrote so that I can focus on the exploitation development and not the vulnerability research.  A number of mitigations were introduced in recent years, such as Kernel Page Table Isolation and control register pinning, which makes some previous techniques obsolete. Techniques like ret2usr no longer work. But regardless, I am able to privesc and gain a rootshell. An overview of the attack The attack can be split up into a number of stages: ·         Defeat KASLR ·         Leak the stack canary ·         Stack smash and overwrite the canary and return address to trigger a ROP chain ·         ROP to change the current creds to UID 0 ·         ROP into the code that returns from a system call and continues execution i
