What to bring:

This is a “lecture-style” training presentation combined with the advent of “Remote Dog and Pony Show” server access to illustrate real, live, in-production server and DMZ configurations currently deployed on active business networks, in addition to standard presentation materials. As such, there are no hardware requirements for attendees. However, we recommend that you bring your own wireless capable laptop system pre-configured with XP and/or Vista with your choice of virtual machine environments so that you can participate in in-class configurations changes. Internet access will be available, but only once you have proven yourself worthy for us to create the firewall rules needed to let you out. You should come ready to learn, and ready to participate in a typically fast-paced course with an open mind and a willingness to think differently. Some level of social skills coupled with a sense of humor is a definite plus.

Who Should Attend?
The main goal is to help students understand contemporary malware techniques, enable them to see the “bigger picture” over technical details and show possible approaches to compromise detection. Thus the course is primarily targeted for developers of security products, forensic investigators, pen-testers and OS developers.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of OS design and implementation (specifically Windows), C programming, at least basic experience with debugging and ability to understand fragments of assembler code (IA32 architecture).

Course Length: Two days. All course materials, lunch and two coffee breaks will be provided. A Certificate of Completion will be offered. You must provide your own laptop.
