Binary Jiujitsu: White Belt Fundamentals workshop
Abstract
Binary Jiujitsu is binary exploitation as a martial art. Modeled after Brazilian Jiujitsu, Binary Jiujitsu takes fundamental concepts and incrementally builds on each tool, skill, and technique until practitioners are capable of identifying vulnerabilities, crafting exploits, and overcoming protection mechanisms that are designed to stop exploitation. Each belt represents a collection of skills and capabilities proven through hands-on training.
White Belt Fundamentals is a hands-on introduction to binary exploitation, taking students from zero binary exploitation experience to exploiting their first buffer overflow.
Stripe 1: Computer Architecture Basics Stripe 2: Identifying points of interest Stripe 3: Testing vulnerabilities Stripe 4: Developing proof of concept exploits
Prerequisites
- Understand basic programming concepts (loops, conditionals, i/o)
- Willingness to ask questions
- Grit
- Curiosity
Day / Time / Location
Day 1, Friday, 14-August-2026, 6:30pm - 10:00pm
Workshop A (Sutton Place, third floor)
Full Description
What Belt Fundamentals gets students exploiting binaries from the very beginning. All tooling and environment is provided to students in the browser, eliminating the need to install VMs or configure tooling which takes time and can be complicated to troubleshoot.
Stripe 1 covers basic computer architecture concepts necessary to understand exploitation.
- Endianness and the hexadecimal number system
- Introduction to x86 assembly
- Registers
- How the stack works
Stripe 2 covers how POIs (points of interest) are identified.
- Vulnerable functions in C
- Reading source code
- Reverse Engineering concepts
Stripe 3 covers how POIs are tested.
- Static analysis with decompilers and disassemblers
- Dynamic analysis with GDB
- Interacting with the application with pwntools
Stripe 4 covers exploit development
- Writing pwntools scripts for buffer overflows
- Troubleshooting when an exploit fails
- Ret2win and gaining control of EIP/RIP
- Overwriting local variables
Belt test: The workshop ends with a belt test. Players who complete the belt test will be promoted to Blue Belt in Binary Jiujitsu.
The workshop is also a CTF! Complete challenges and lesson content to score points on a leaderboard with your fellow students. Top three players by 5:30pm on Sunday win Binary Jiujitsu placement medals.
