Trainers

All of SensePost's Hacking By Numbers trainers are working as penetration testers. HBN course modules are often inspired by actual penetration tests we have performed in the past. We love teaching and have been doing so for Black Hat for over a decade now. Our courses are hands-on, fun to do and also show real world scenarios that students will encounter.
