*In the LAST of this Series* (yes you read that right) we will be discussing EXPLOITATION. We will delve into the differences between a vulnerability and an exploit, discuss and understand how bugs in software lead to compromise, and see REAL LIFE EXAMPLES of vulnerable web applications, software, and operating systems.
We will be introducing a few new programs, all of which are available on the BackTrack distribution (fyi, they recently released a new version at http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html) However everything that we will be discussing is included on previous releases. If you are wanting to use your OWN operating system, make sure you download and install nmap, nessus, and the Metasploit 3.0 framework.
This session will probably be fairly lengthy, so if you are interested please come prepared.
