"There is incredibly high demand in the industry for this level of technical expertise and training," explained Trey Ford, General Manger, Black Hat. "Offering the community another opportunity to take advantage of these popular courses in a tech hub like Seattle was a no brainer. Our goal is to continue cultivating the discussions and trainings that help define tomorrow's information security landscape."
Some highlights of the upcoming West Coast Trainings include:
- Pentesting with Kali Linux: Offensive Security, the team behind Kali, has re-written this course from the ground up to reflect the most modern and effective techniques that all penetration testers need to know. Pentest bash scripting? Reverse tunneling and exfiltration? Exploiting Windows apps? It's all here and more.
- Adaptive Penetration Testing: This challenging, fast-paced course will teach attendees how to best use available tools and methodologies to accurately emulate modern threats, all while adapting to tightening budgets, limited timeframes and diverse skillsets.
- Adaptive Red Team Tactics: To combat the constantly evolving attacker, participants will develop stealth, evasion and persistence techniques to effectively emulate the enemy and demonstrate the impact of a successful attack.
- Assessing and Exploiting Control Systems with SamuraiSTFU: Going far beyond your traditional SCADA security course, attendees will experience hands-on penetration testing techniques used to test embedded electronic field devices, network protocols, RF communications and controlling servers of ICS and Smart Grid systems.
