Course Description
Regular expressions are universally embedded in the world of information technology. They are a part of many programming languages, databases, search engines, and command-line tools. As an information security professional, you are continuously analyzing textual data for indicators of compromise, juicy data morsels to exfiltrate, forensic artifacts, supporting evidence in threat hunting, and so much more. Familiarity with regular expressions is a skill, a very life-enhancing essence if you like, to take your information security analysis capabilities from “just ok” to “wizard level.” They are applicable in so many places that you really cannot afford to not have this knowledge.
Join me for a four-hour session that takes you on a journey through regular expression POSIX, BRE, ERE, and PCRE syntax and explores various tools that you probably use daily through the lens of regular expressions. Your life will be forever changed when you can apply the power of regular expressions to your professional duties.
