The Cowtown Computer Congress

In this multi-part Cyber-Security learning series we will take on the role of Kevin Linus, an aspiring sysadmin who wants to “break into” the field of cyber-security.  Learning by doing, we will implement tools and techniques used by “BlackHat Hackers” in order to bypass defenses and obtain unauthorized access to systems. By gaining these skills and techniques, you will gain incredible insight on how to protect your company’s network from them.

For the first part of the series, we will be discussing network and host discovery, and take it one step further with some host enumeration.  This is a “hands-on” exercise and all participants should come prepared with some type of computer (laptop preferred).  Also, please bring a burned copy of BackTrack 4.0 LiveDVD (DVD, Thumbdrive, or preinstalled) with you.  We will be using tools such as nmap and kismet.   (Although BackTrack 4 is not required, it is preferred.  Due to time constraints I will not hold the class for tool installation)

This first session might be review for you, but who knows you might pick up some new tricks!  (Warning nmap Kung-fu will be discussed!)

This entire training series is free to ALL CCCKC Members, and open to the community for a (suggested) $10 per session donation.  This training event (entire series) will build on itself covering subjects and techniques comparable to $4000 “security vendor” event.

Future seats will be limited, so make sure you come out to the April 30th event!
