Take a look at Microcorruption [0]. If this post intrigued you, I think you'd really enjoy it. It's a series of challenges by tptacek that task you with exploiting the firmware for a digital smart lock. It starts out by assuming no knowledge, with the first level literally just requiring that you read a memory dump, but by the last level you'll be reverse engineering custom heap implementations, injecting shellcode into ASLR'd binaries, and bypassing memory protections. It really is the best introduction to this sort of material that I've ever come across. [0] https://microcorruption.com https://microcorruption.com
