Open Source Defensive Security Training

An extremely deep dive training on Open Source-based infrastructure security, Linux systems and network services hardening.

Course Description

Open Source Defensive Security Training is an Open Source IT Security laboratory dedicated for professionals who need close the gaps in Linux & Open Source Security knowledge. Very detailed and up to date course content with focus especially on defensive approach gives you the best opportunity for making stronger defensive layers inside your network infrastructures or/and Linux-based products. Delivering a real world scenarios in our Open Source Defensive Security hands-on labs provide a very practical knowledge you need for expand your Linux Security skills.

This is an extremely deep dive training on Open Source-based infrastructure security, Linux systems and network services hardening. We like details as attackers do and that details bring the differences - from offensive and defensive approach. That's how we see it works. Our high-tech workshop has a unique formula “protection vs attack”. This means that most of the security issues we are talking about will be effectively protected by the use of a suitable approach, sophisticated software and dedicated secure configuration.

We focus on delivering a defensive content, but we understand that for being good in defense you have to also be good in offense. That way we are providing a kind of knowledge-mix in those fields using Open Source software. Except basic Linux skills and TCP/IP knowledge, most of the lab exercises required of candidate at least basic understanding of what attacker techniques are and this is what we are delivering also. We strongly believe that only a mix of broad, systematic Defensive and Offensive Security knowledge can guarantee secure solutions.

As Sun Tzu said: "Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster."

The workshop has prepared the following examples of laboratory scenarios:

Web application security vs OWASP Top 10 attack techniques and others
Grsecurity/PAX/GCC hardening vs Linux kernel and userspace exploitation using vulnerabilities from the last past years (PERF_EVENTS, ptrace/sysret, memppodiper, semtex, sendpage, chroot() escape, dirty_cow)
Seccomp/capabilities/namespaces vs exploits
SELinux vs exploits (Redis Command Execution, Venom, Apache)
Volatility vs rootkits
Secure SSH relays and importance of low level privileges rule
System users accountability, including root
Linux Domain Controller
Using sysdig/SystemTAP for detecting deviations in the behavior of daemons and services
Network packet filtering including TOR, ipsets, IP reputation, port knocking
Network honeypots vs scanning tools and obstruction of the process of enumeration
PCAP analysis and Deep Packet Inspection vs malware
Sandboxing for malware detection and deep analysis (cuckoo, yara)
Web Application Firewall vs OWASP Top 10
and others
