Cutting-edge Hacking Techniques - Academia Edition


What to bring?

All necessary equipment will be provided including computer, wired/wireless network connection, tools and utilities.

Computer attackers continue the relentless march in improving their tools and techniques. The simple scanning of yesteryear has given way to powerful suites of bundled, automated scanning and exploitation tools. Straightforward backdoors have evolved into powerful kernel-mode RootKits, manipulating the very hearts of our systems. Covert channels exfiltrate sensitive information and hash collision attacks are rapidly advancing, with your systems in the cross hairs. In all of these trends, thorough reconnaissance and deep subterfuge dominate the attackers' game.

If we don't keep up with their latest methods, our overall defenses and incident response practices will grow rusty. To help fight back, this action-packed two-day course describes these latest attack trends and what you can do to thwart the bad guys.

This session will provide you with up-to-date knowledge on the latest hacks developed over the last twelve to eighteen months. In addition to detailed descriptions of how the attacks function, you'll get hands-on experience with the tools and their defenses.

Sample topics include: 

  • Assessing and Penetrating Windows® & Unix® networks and hosts 
  • Enumerating information from Windows hosts 
  • Linking Windows and Unix vulnerabilities for maximum impact 
  • Port scanning with Nmap - hands-on 
  • Vulnerability assessment with Nessus - hands-on 
  • Exploitation with Metasploit - hands-on 
  • New Google search techniques for finding vulnerable systems 


What Do I Get? 


You get more than just knowledge of the latest tricks and techniques. You take home the following stuff:
  • Certificate of Completion 
  • A bootable BackTrack(tm) distribution - BackTrack is the Top rated Linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. The merging of two very popular distributions (Whax and Auditor Security Collection) has catapulted BackTrack to the #1 spot on the "Top 100 Network Security Tools" list - http://sectools.org.!
