Strategic Security - Maryland Saturday Advanced Network Pentester Program

We are finally running it LIVE in Maryland on Saturdays!!!!!! Finally, you will be able to take this live in-person in Maryland.
The primary focus of the class is getting the student comfortable with tools and tactics used in modern network pentesting of high security environments like DoD and large financial institutions. The class will be focused ‘goal oriented pentesting’, or emulating Advanced Persistent Threat so there will be a lot of focus on Bypassing Anti-Virus, and POST EXPLOITATION (both with and without Metasploit).
Key Points:
Per student request there will be absolutely NO Windows 2000, no Windows XP, Vista, or Server 2003 in the entire course. Only Windows 7, Windows 8, Server 2008, Server 2012 and new flavors of Linux.

Students attack a network of fully patched, and hardened hosts. Each target computer will be running a Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS), updated Anti-Virus, and a logging agent that reports to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution.

There will also be a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), a web content filtering proxy, and a stateful inspection firewall as well.

The students will have access to the consoles of all of the security appliances. Students will be able to see in real time the events triggered by the HIDS, NIDS, Proxy, and the logs so the students can learn exactly what attacks and defenses really work in today’s high security environment.
