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!
