Code execution inside PID 0

A few days ago, a seemingly random thought came up in the back of my mind. On every system, there’s a process whose Process ID is 0. This process is called the System Idle Process, and contains threads that execute when no other thread is ready to run on a given processor.

Exciting news! 🚀 Our comprehensive Windows Kernel Exploitation Foundation and Advanced class will be conducted @_ringzer0! This intensive course combines the essentials of both Foundation and Advanced levels, guiding you through the process of kernel exploitation. From exploiting bugs in Windows kernel mode drivers to bypassing advanced exploit mitigations, gain hands-on experience in a wide range of critical topics. 🛠️🖥️

📅 Week 1: Feb 10-17, 2024
📍 Virtual Training
🕒 32 CPE Hours

Key Learning Objectives:

* Understand Windows kernel debugging and internals
* Master exploit development techniques in kernel mode
* Bypass advanced exploit mitigations like kASLR, SMEP, and KPTI/KVA Shadow
* Develop Arbitrary Read/Write primitives

Who should attend?

* InfoSec professionals
* Bug hunters & Red teamers
* Windows exploit & driver developers
* Ethical hackers looking to upgrade to kernel level

🌟 Course culminates in a CTF challenge where you can apply your newly acquired skills!
