Overview
Computer hacking is 1 part theory and 9 parts practice. In this course we share all our skill and experience by placing you in the driving seat for two days of ‘Capture the Flag’ exercises, each carefully designed to teach a specific hacking principle or technique. At the end a carefully calculated score will give an idea of how well you rate against the world's best.
This course is the most technical of the Hacking by Numbers series. From the first hour to the final minutes you are placed in different attacker scenarios as you race the clock to "capture the flag". The solutions lie much more in technique and an reactive thought process than in the use of "skriptz" or "toolz". Each exercise is designed to teach a specific lesson and will be discussed in detail after they are completed. In this way you learn from your instructors, your colleagues and your own successes and failures. The "Capture the Flag" exercises have all been designed to replicate real-life scenarios with real-life-hacker stumbling blocks along the way. You will have to deal with multiple firewalls, IDS devices and home spun red herrings in their quests to complete the challenge.
During the exercises SensePost's leading technical specialists will discuss possible attacks, possible alternatives and even possible defences for the scenario in question. The exercises range from simple layer one attacks to more complex attacks requiring combinations of Web Application vulnerabilities and TCP/IP covert channels. All tools, documentation and required reading material will be provided to the students.
What you will learn
This course is designed to stretch your technical skill to the limit. You’ll learn more about technology and how it works, you’ll new skills and hacking techniques, you’ll learn new defensive strategies and, most importantly, you’ll learn to think, think, think, in new and innovative ways about the hacking ethic, techniques, way of thinking and real-life computer security approaches. Each exercise is designed to teach a specific lesson and will be discussed in detail after they are completed. In this way you learn from your instructors, your colleagues and your own successes and failures.
Who should attend
Students who have already completed the "Hacking By Numbers Bootcamp Edition" course, security auditors, consultants and administrators with advanced skill, as well as experienced penetration testers, will all benefit from this hands-on course.
Benefits
We believe this is the only course of its kind worldwide designed for students at this level. The grading system is unique and provides you with an accurate measure of their skill level. The course is extremely interactive, allowing students to learn from the instructor, from each other and even from themselves. The course is extremely practical and hands-on and consists almost exclusively of lab exercises. Despite its practical nature the course still teaches basic principles and emphasizes thinking skills. The course is fun. It encourages reactive thinking through exercises and competition.
