Infosec 101

Trainers: Kevin Alcock (@kevinnz) & Dan Wallis (@mrdanwallis)

Abstract: Do terms like XSS, SQLi, RCE, Buffer Overflow, Rootkit, Trojan, Phishing, DDoS, Malware, Virus, or just the word Hacker leave you confused? This training is for you. We all had to start somewhere and this is the training for you, the beginner. Dan and Kevin are here to help you into the world of information security. This will be a light hearted, fun and interactive session.

We'll talk through what these terms mean, and try to answer questions as we go. There'll be live examples of the basics, and an opportunity to try these out in a lab (so bring along a laptop). The goal of this session is to come away with some usable knowledge, and an entry level understanding of the information security world.

Topics:

  • What is Hacking? (History, what's legal, ethics)
  • Hacking in popular culture versus reality
  • Getting started
  • Understanding of attacks
  • Performing your first attack
  • Tools of the trade
  • How to carry on beyond this session
  • And more…

Level: Beginner.

Duration: Half day (afternoon).

Cost: $0, only available to students.

Tickets: Via Eventbrite
