Introduction to Computing Security Workshops--Wed. Apr. 9 (Part 1) & Wed. May 7 (Part 2), 7:30pm

[Lauren Hutchinson]

Dear all,

Pablo has been lovely and has volunteered to teach two computer security workshops, parts 1 and 2, on Wed. Apr. 9 and Wed. 7 May from 7:30pm at the space.

They will cover:

Part 1 (Apr. 9)
=========
Morality in hacking, security risks, attacks and defenses, network scanners and other tools.
Emphasis is on increasing awareness of security.
This is a hands-on workshop with exercises, so please bring a laptop with Linux (and an ethernet port) on it if possible.
Knowledge of programming will help, but is not necessary for part 1.

Part 2 (May 7)
=========

The second workshop will go in deeper, and cover making our own tools, as well as:
- Demonstration and instruction in more complex network vulnerabilities
- Understanding buffer/stack overflow and integer overflow
- Protection of programs with licenses and serial numbers

It is more necessary to have a Linux computer and ethernet port for this one.
Network knowledge and good programming skills are necessary.
To do the exercises, you need to have some experience of Assembly, but to simply follow, programming experience in any language is enough.

Hope to see you there,


Lauren

Just a reminder that the first Computing Security workshop (with hands-on demos and exercises) is this coming Wednesday, in two days' time, from 7:30pm.

This seems to be generating quite a lot of interest, so I will try to get us more workshops of this general nature in future.

I currently have four more workshops of various types in the pipeline.

As always, if you are reading this and you either have workshop ideas or would be up for talking to us about (or demonstrating) something interesting, please do shoot me an email off-list and we'll make it work.

Cheers,


Lauren

Dear all,

Just a reminder that the second computer security workshop (with hands-on demos) is tomorrow, Wednesday, from 7:30pm.  We had good fun at the last one, which probably broke the space's workshop attendance record thus far.

Here's the original description:

Final reminder that the second CompSec workshop is tonight from 7:30pm.

See you there perhaps!
