Offensive Android Internals (On-demand)

In this unique course targeting the internals of Android, you'll get a tour of the key parts of the AOSP source tree, examine the boot sequence, IPC mechanisms, and explore ARM64 assembly. You'll develop skills in reverse-engineering Android specific security features and gain a deeper understanding of exploitation techniques, including both userland and kernel-level internals. Real-world case studies, and practical code walkthroughs will aid your learning across multiple device vendors.

This course is not an Appsec course, as it covers topics related to VR that is suitable for folks interested in learning more about the Android operating system internals, exploitation techniques etc.

If you are interested in an Appsec course, check out the Practical Mobile Application Exploitation course.
