reverse engineering and exploit development in linux(x64)

About this course

i always wanted a course, a book or something which starts from scratch and brings me to an expert level. i saw and read a lot of courses which teach you the applications and software about security and hacking, learning those in security industry, is like knowing wordpress to design websites without understanding programming languages. so i started this course from scratch, from nothing.  because as einstein put it: "if you can't explain something simply then you don't understand it well enough".  in security the difference between experts and amateurs is just in the same statement. those who know the background science are those who DESIGN the metasploit and other softwares, and those who don't are the users of the programs. which one do you want to be?if the answer is the first group, this the right place for you. we really start from nothing, introduce you the concept of data, that what do we mean by data, bits and bytes? we then introduce the basic element of all the digital devices: TRANSISTOR.then we use that transistor to create the logic gates, nand and not gates. but we only create them if we need them, so before creating anything, we ask the question of "why do i need this?" . then we start to give a general overview of what a computer is, why we need it and how we are going to create it. that brings us to the concepts that as human we can't remember everything, so we needed something which could remember as long as we want it to, and more importantly we want it to do the computation so much faster that we ever could. those are the only two things that computer has over human brain. so based on that we proceed, a memory for remembering and a cpu for processing. so we start my using our nand gates to create both memory and cpu. and we test it, troubleshoot it, add features to it, until we have our computer.  now we save our program as a set of instructions inside the memory, the cpu would fetch those instructions, and execute them and move to the next one, and it does it
