WIT Campuscon hacking challenge

WIT’s hacking society are putting on a full day event on 21st January where there will be a team hacking event http://campuscon.hackingwit.com/.

With some great feedback on facebook, we’ll be going down on 20th with bus eireann (12.60 euro a ticket if you book online). WITHacking are charging 5 euro into the event at the door. We’re still looking around for the best accommodation. We may also be able to subsidise part of the trip. Hope you can all come!

We want to organise a time we can all meetup to practice/train for the event and decide on teams to try our hand at the hacking. Remember, everyone’s a beginner, you’re guaranteed to have less fun and learn less if you don’t give it a try! This will be different to our regular workshops where it’ll be a meetup session where it is a group effort to practice and train rather than us preparing specific materials and you just following along.

Thursday 19th 12pm for a full day – official first day to come out and train / practice. Relaxed group orientated environment.
Requirements:
-Laptop
-Linux of some sort installed or on a cd (backtrack/ubuntu cds we handed out will do grand)
-Usb stick to install a persistent version might be handy too
-Network cable if you have one
-Power extension thinamabobs if you have them as well.
-Bring along some isos or vms of debian/ubuntu + windows if you have them for people who feel more technically comfortable.

To start off with, we’ll be focusing on web application vulns (most likely sql injection and further escalation from there) as it’s stated in http://campuscon.hackingwit.com/events.php.
