I still remember following Andries’s “Linux kernel hacker’s hut” course he taught at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) back in 2010. Every week we’d get an assignment where we had to write exploits for commonly occurring security vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflows, bad printf format). It was one of the most enjoyable courses I ever followed. Thanks for that, Andries!

Hey fellow TU/e'er :) I followed his course as well, somewhere around 2004/5. Executing man in the middle attacks, writing buffer overflow exploits. Good memories!
Is this course still available? What about the course materials? I know it will be dated but if so can someone pls share the links. Tried searching for it on google but couldn’t find it.
It looks like the code of the course was 2WC16. Unfortunately the course material no longer seems to be available online.
