OffSec EXP-401 Advanced Windows Exploitation (AWE) – Course Review
In November of last year, I took the OffSec EXP-401 Advanced Windows Exploitation class (AWE) at Black Hat MEA. While most of the blog posts out of there focus on providing an OSEE exam review, this blog post aims to be a day-by-day review of the AWE course content.OffSec Exp-401 (AWE)
