Prerequisites:
SensePost will provide fully configured laptop computers as well as CDs with all the tools and materials used in the course. Students need to ensure they have the necessary level of skill. No hacking experience is required for this course, but a solid technical grounding is an absolute must. Students are expected to be versed in basic programming or scripting, networking and Internet technologies, 'nix and Windows operating systems, basic SQL and database technologies. No advanced skills are required, but students without a good, practical knowledge of these areas will fall behind in this fast-paced class. Students without the requisite technical skills are encouraged to consider 'Cadet Edition'. Cadet and Bootcamp Edition can be taken back-to-back.
Context:
'Bootcamp' is SensePost's 'introduction to hacking' course. It is strongly method based and emphasizes structure, approach and thinking over tools and tricks.
