We will be hosting a two part Computer Security talk on Monday 28th November 6pm following up with a workshop on Tuesday 29th November 6pm and a part two the following week. Please bring laptops on Tuesday if you have them.
Update! We have a room, see the bottom of the post.
Leading up to the talk, we will be posting decoding challenges on twitter. Crack the code and send us in the answer and there could be some loot awaiting you Monday.Follow @DITNetsoc
I will be diving right into the topic and show you real examples of how systems can be attacked and defended and talking about the penetration testing, a carear path where you are hired to professionally and legally, test the security of a system. We’ll be covering where to get started, books and mailing lists to follow and websites to visit.
We’ll be covering various attack methodologies and giving you a glimse of what’s inside malware along with popular tools that are often used to test security along with solutions to help you avoid becoming the next victim.
If that doesn’t sound exciting enough, we have built some systems we’ll be demoing a hack against live at the event and will be aiming to teach you how to do so and how to make sure when you’re writing code, that you don’t leave these holes open. If you were at our last PHP workshop, you will have gotten a taste of what you can possibly do. Come along to our security talk to learn how attacks are carried out and how to defend against them.
