April 7, 2015
AnnouncementTraining

We are pleased to announce that Kizz MyAnthia will be joining us this year to teach a class!

Hunting The White Whale – Offensive Application Pentesting

OVERVIEW

This course will introduce the attendees to the concepts of Information Security, the security issues that plague all applications today, learn how to create an attack strategy, and execute against the problem. This course will encompass both common and easily exploitable vulnerabilities and the more advanced or custom exploits and techniques that attackers use in the real world. We will discuss what motivates an attacker, what the types of mindsets are, and what tools they will most likely use.

Training classes are held on Thursday, June 3rd, before the conference.
