Overview of the courses

Training #1: Pentesting High Security Environments

Description

This course will focus on penetration testing techniques that can be used when testing highly secured environments such as 3-letter agencies, DoD, financial organizations, federal organizations, and large companies. If you are tired of attacking unpatched Windows 2000 Servers in your hacking courses and want to take a course where you will be attacking new Operating Systems/Applications that are patched, locked down, and protected with an IDS/IPS then this is the course for you.

The first day of the course starts with attacking heavily protected environments from the outside and dealing with Network-Based IDS/IPS. Next is attacking web applications and dealing with Load Balancing, common application security measures in PHP/ASP.NET, and Web Application Firewalls.

The second day covers attacking from the LAN, dealing with NAC solutions, locked down workstations/GPOs, and Host-Based IDS/IPS. The last section of the course covers gaining control of Active Directory.

Training #2: A crash course in pentesting and securing VOIP networks

Description

As VoIP networks become more and more part of the way organizations communicate, security professionals need to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This knowledge will help them make sound decisions on the security (or lack of) of their VoIP system and network.

Attendees who follow the VoIP security training will gain valuable hands-on experience in testing VoIP equipment and networks. During the training they will make use of existent security tools as well as custom built tools to help them get the job done.

Training #3: Social engineering

Description

Social engineering attacks can have disastrous consequences, both financially and reputationally. You can have the best technical security controls in the world, from the most expensive firewall to the most sophisticated biometrics, but they will not protect you from a social engineering attack. In any security programme people are the weakest link. Social engineering tests can be used to evaluate and strengthen this link.

Like any penetration test, social engineering tests can help to identify security weaknesses that could allow your IT systems to be compromised. Such tests can:

• Give a good indication of and even improve your staff’s level of security awareness
• Teach your staff how to identify and deal with social engineering situations
• Provide valuable recommendations on both security awareness and physical security

However, it can be difficult to know how to conduct a social engineering test. This two-day training course will teach participants how to conduct an ethical social engineering test, the theory behind social engineering, as well as giving recommendations on how to defend against social engineers. The course will include practical exercises and is open to anyone with an interest in social engineering.

Training #4: Assessing and Exploiting Web Applications with Samurai-WTF

Description

This course will focus on using open source tools to perform web application assessments. The course will take attendees through the process of application assessment using the open source tools included in the Samurai Web Testing Framework Live CD (Samurai-WTF). Day one will take students through the steps and open source tools used to assess applications for vulnerabilities. Day two will focus on the exploitation of web app vulnerabilities, spending half the day on server side attacks and the other half of the day on client side attacks. The latest tools and techniques will be use throughout the course, including several tools developed by the trainers themselves.
