About this course
Most critical software flaws come down to a program writing past the end of a buffer, and this course explains that failure clearly so you can prevent it. You begin with why C is so prone to these bugs, build a tiny toolchain around gcc, gdb and AddressSanitizer, and refresh how pointers and unchecked array indexing reach memory they should not. A diagram of the stack frame shows why overflowing a local buffer can overwrite the saved return address. You inspect a small teaching program, find the unbounded copy and replace it with a size-bounded one, watch a crash occur safely, and use a cyclic pattern to pinpoint the overflow during triage. Control-flow hijacking is explained to show why the bug is serious, deliberately without an exploit, and a closing lesson walks through canaries, NX, ASLR, PIE and FORTIFY. All practice is local and authorised.

Before you buy
Questions about this course
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.
What exactly do I get?
All lessons and labs of this course, the final exam and the certificate, including later updates to the course, for as long as Tutorvo offers it. Access is personal and tied to your account.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you are not satisfied, email hello@tutorvo.com within 14 days of buying and we refund the course in full via Stripe. The guarantee does not apply once a certificate for the course has been issued to you, or where there are signs of abuse.
When can I start?
Right after payment. Access starts immediately at your request; for consumers in the EU/EEA the statutory right of withdrawal therefore ends once access has begun, while our 14-day money-back guarantee applies regardless.
Do I need Excel or other software?
No. The labs run in a spreadsheet inside your browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Function names and syntax follow Excel.
Is the certificate an official qualification?
No. It confirms that you completed all lessons of the course and passed its final exam. It is not an official, state-recognised or professional qualification. The name is taken from your profile when the certificate is issued.
