Workshop: Foundations of Dynamic Analysis for AppSec

In this workshop, you’ll learn how compiled programs work at runtime. Through hands-on labs, you’ll understand how programs are structured, executed, and represented in memory, during the execution process.

You’ll practice tracing and intercepting functions, modifying return values, and observing program behavior in real time without recompiling. Using Frida, a free and open-source dynamic instrumentation framework, you’ll gain practical experience inspecting and manipulating simple C programs.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a strong foundation in dynamic analysis that you can apply to desktop and mobile application analysis, and a solid base to grow into more advanced topics such as mobile and desktop testing.
