Cutting-edge Hacking Techniques - Ninja Edition

 


What to bring?

Just bring your laptop. All necessary equipment will be provided including 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 four-day course describes these latest attack trends and what you can do to thwart the bad guys.

This course is more detailed and hands-on oriented of our popular Cutting-edge Hacking Techniques course. It will provide you with up-to-date knowledge on the latest hackers techniques and protection technologies. 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:

  • Advanced network reconnaissance including stealth scans and identification of services running on non-standard ports
  • Enumerating information from Windows hosts
  • Late-breaking Nmap features - hands-on
  • Assessing and Penetrating Windows® & Unix® networks and hosts
  • Linking Windows and Unix vulnerabilities for maximum impact
