Further more, it is recommened to do the following labs. These labs are meant to teach you how to work with assembly:
* **Bomb Lab**: [Writeup](http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/bomblab.pdf), [self-study handout](https://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/bomb.tar).
> A "binary bomb" is a program provided to students as an object code file. When run, it prompts the user to type in 6 different strings. If any of these is incorrect, the bomb "explodes," printing an error message and logging the event on a grading server. Students must "defuse" their own unique bomb by disassembling and reverse engineering the program to determine what the 6 strings should be. The lab teaches students to understand assembly language, and also forces them to learn how to use a debugger. It's also great fun. A legendary lab among the CMU undergrads.
* **Attack Lab**: [Writeup](http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/attacklab.pdf), [self-study handout](https://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/target1.tar).
> Students are given a pair of unique custom-generated x86-64 binary executables, called targets, that have buffer overflow bugs. One target is vulnerable to code injection attacks. The other is vulnerable to return-oriented programming attacks. Students are asked to modify the behavior of the targets by developing exploits based on either code injection or return-oriented programming. This lab teaches the students about the stack discipline and teaches them about the danger of writing code that is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. **Note:** run the targets with the -q flag to prevent them from trying to contact a non-existent grading server.
