Hacking by Numbers: Combat Edition
The Ultimate Hacker Combat Training Course
SensePost
What to bring:
Just Yourself.

All necessary equipment will be provided, including pre-configured laptops, tools and utitlites.

Computer hacking is 1 part theory and 9 parts practice. You've read all the books, you've attended all the courses. Now hone your skills in the ultimate hacker combat training course. Last year SensePost compromised over 200 networks worldwide. In this course we share all our skill and experience by placing you in the driving seat for 2 days of "Capture the Flag" excecises, 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. Use it to impress your friends.

Overview
This course is the latest addition to the established Hacking by Numbers series. From the first hour, to the final minutes students are placed in different attacker scenarios as they race the clock to "capture the flag". In the SensePost tradition, the solutions lie much more in technique and an out-of-box 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" excercises have all been designed to replicate real-life scenarios with real-life-hacker stumbling blocks along the way. Students will have to deal with multiple firewalls, IDS devices and home spun red herrings in their quests to complete the challenge. During the excercises SensePost's leading technical specialists will discuss possible attacks, possible alternatives and even possible defenses for the scenario in question.

The excercises 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.

Who Should Attend:
Students who have already completed the Hacking By Numbers: Bootcamp Edition will find that the Combat Edition is the natural next step. Security auditors, consultants and administrators with advanced skill, as well as seasoned penetration testers and the nice people from government agencies will all benefit from this hands-on course.

ISC2 CISSP/SCCP CPE Credits
Students are eligible to receive 16 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits upon completion of class. Black Hat will automatically forward your information to ISC2.
