Introduction to Pentesting w/ John Strand
In this training course, we will examine the different types of penetration testing engagements and take a deep dive into establishing a repeatable testing methodology for executing quality tests. We will look at some tools of the trade to understand what they are doing under the hood, identify what separates a great finding from a good finding in reports, and really zero in on establishing your own methodology!
Linux Command-Line For Analysts and Operators w/ Hal Pomeranz
OnlineThis 16-hour, hands-on course is a quick start into the world of Linux forensics. Learn how to use memory forensics to rapidly triage systems and spot attacker malware and rootkits. Learn where the most critical on-disk artifacts live and how they can help further an investigation. Rapidly process Linux logs and build a clearer picture of what happened on the system.
This course is a quick jumpstart on the Linux command-line. Start from the basics and work all the way up to command-line programming. Short learning modules and lots of practical hands-on activities will put you on the road to Linux command-line mastery. And electronic copies of everything are yours to take home, so you can continue the learning even after class is over.
Advanced Network Threat Hunting w/ Chris Brenton
So far we’ve had over 21,000 students attend our one-day network threat hunting course. Many have asked that we provide an extended class with more hands-on lab time. That is exactly what we have rolled into this 16-hour course!
Incident Response Foundations w/ Derek Banks
OnlineThe goal of this course is to provide the core components that make up a successful Incident Response program. Students will learn how to get started on their IR journey, what to prioritize, and why boring stuff like policies and procedures are just as important as technical digital forensics skills.
Introduction to Python w/ Joff Thyer
OnlineThis course aims to teach the fundamentals of the Python programming language such that a student will gain a beginning to intermediate level of competency with the language. Labs will be presented in a Capture the Flag (CTF) style format as well as some more comprehensive programming tasks.
Advanced Endpoint Investigations w/ Alissa Torres
For most security teams, high operational tempo (measured in dumpster fire lumens) incentivizes analysts to stick to well-tailored playbooks that prioritize remediation at the expense of proper incident scoping and root cause analysis. Though modern endpoint security products have significantly improved host visibility, most critical incidents will require the acquisition and analysis of additional endpoint data.
Network Forensics and Incident Response w/ Troy Wojewoda
OnlineIncident responders are continually faced with the challenge of collecting and analyzing relevant event data—network communications is no exception. This course uses an assortment of network data acquisition tools and techniques with a focus on open-source, vendor-neutral solutions. Students who take this course will learn how to perform network traffic and protocol analysis that ultimately supports cybersecurity incident response efforts. From reconnaissance to data exfiltration, network traffic scales to provide a bird’s-eye view of attacker activity. Leveraging the vantage point of key network traffic chokepoints, this course explores nearly every phase of an attacker’s methodology. Students will learn network traffic analysis concepts and work through hands-on lab exercises that reinforce the course material using real-world attack scenarios.
Defending the Enterprise w/ Kent Ickler and Jordan Drysdale
For the luckiest of enterprises, the awareness of an insecure environment is proven not in public discord after a breach but instead by effective security penetration tests. Time and time again Jordan and Kent have witnessed organizations struggle with network management, Active Directory, organizational change, and an increasingly experienced adversary.
Ransomware Attack Simulation and Investigation for Blue Teamers w/ Markus Schober
As a cyber security defender and investigator, we often just get to analyze an environment that suffered a ransomware attack after the ransomware execution, where we are trying to make our way back in time to understand the scope and initial infection vectors of a breach. However, knowing how attackers operate and having an understanding of their tools can help tremendously to conduct a more effective analysis and response and ultimately lower the impact of such attacks. This is why in this workshop we will teach you how to perform the common steps of every phase in a ransomware attack scenario as the attacker, from initial infection to impact.
Advanced Offensive Tooling w/ Chris Traynor
OnlineIn the Advanced Offensive Tooling course, you will embark on a journey into the depths of cybersecurity expertise, immersing yourself in advanced techniques and methodologies employed byseasoned offensive operators. The curriculum is meticulously designed to not only sharpen your skills but also elevate your understanding of your toolset. Explore each tool's inner workings, unlock customization options, harness scripting abilities, and learn the art of responsible tool usage.
Introduction to Cybersecurity in Space Systems (ICSS): Hardware Edition w/ Tim Fowler
OnlineIntroduction to Cybersecurity in Space Systems is a course designed to expose cybersecurity professionals to the concepts and implementations of space systems including the ramification and impacts security can have on a mission.
Breaching the Cloud w/ Beau Bullock
This training walks through a complete penetration testing methodology of cloud-based infrastructure. Starting with no information other than the company name you will learn to discover what cloud-specific assets your target is using. Following the enumeration of cloud services, you will learn how to discover misconfigurations that commonly expose sensitive data as well as a thorough understanding of how to get an initial foothold into a cloud-based organization.
Cyber Security Incident Command w/ Gerard Johansen
OnlineStudents will be guided through managing a cyber security incident through a combination of instructions and practical exercises that will leverage IR Tools and techniques. Specific focus will be on specific decisions and actions that take place during an incident, how to coordinate strategic, operational, and technical teams, addressing crisis communications and getting the organization back to normal.
