Xtreme Android Exploitation Lab

Nullcon 2015

2015/02/04

Objective

The Android Exploitation Lab is a 2 day action-packed class of extreme Android Security and Exploitation. We will have a look at the internals of the Android platform, understand it’s weakness, analyze and reverse applications, find vulnerabilities and exploit them.

The class is developed in a hands-on and CTF approach, where each attendee gets to have their hands dirty with exploiting real world Android applications and binaries. The training will be done on an Android Tamer distribution prepared exclusively for the Nullcon training.

The two trainers have put a lot of research in order to come up with this training for the first time @ Nullcon 2015. Attendees will also get full access to the automated cloud based app security assessment framework AppWatch after the training.
