# Binary Exploitation Learning Repository

Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently learning **Binary Exploitation** and related security concepts over the next few months, and this repository is my public learning log.

Everything I learn from basics to advanced techniques—will be documented here in a structured way.

## 📚 Table of Contents

## 📚 What this repo contains

* Step-by-step learning notes on Binary Exploitation
* Practical examples and vulnerable programs
* Free hands-on labs created by me
* Writeups for each challenge
* Exploitation techniques explained in a simple way

## 🧪 Lab Structure

For every topic, you will find:

* 3 custom challenges (Easy → Medium → Hard)
* Source code of vulnerable programs
* Setup instructions
* `solution.md` explaining the exploitation step-by-step

You are expected to **set up the lab environment yourself** before solving the challenges.

## 🎯 Goal of this repo

This repo is meant to help learners:

* Understand how vulnerabilities actually work
* Practice exploitation in a safe environment
* Build intuition for real-world security bugs
* Improve problem-solving in CTF-style scenarios

## 🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/alhamrizvi-cloud/Binary-Exploitation.git
   cd Binary-Exploitation
   ```
2. Set up your environment (GCC, GDB, etc.)
3. Start with the basics in `01. Basics.md`

## 🚀 Progress

I’ll keep updating this repo regularly as I learn new concepts like:

* Stack-based exploitation
* Buffer overflows
* Format string bugs
* Return-oriented programming (ROP)
* Linux exploitation basics

## 🤝 Contributing / Learning Together

Contributions are welcome! If you find any issues or have suggestions:

* Open an issue
* Submit a pull request
* Share your solutions or improvements

Feel free to follow along, fork the repo, and learn with me.\
If you're also learning, you can try solving the challenges and compare approaches.
