Press Release – Jane Frankland joins SensePost
The SensePost marketing division, a highly skilled team of ruthless spin-doctors, is proud to announce that they have written … a press release. Indeed, this team of fawners, flunkeys, lackeys and puffers has been slaving since early 2009 to come up with the pristine example of literary art you will read below. If you’re intimidated by what I’ve just said, harbour a fanatical dislike for marketing folks or simply don’t read so good, then here’s the short version:
SensePost Black Hat Course Summary & chosing the right courses
As we draw nearer to Black Hat Vegas we get a lot of requests from people who need help choosing between one of our courses or the other. In order to provide people with a single, consolidated summary of all the courses we’ll be offering this year I’ve put together a rough summary doc that outlines all the courses and attempts to illustrate how they fit together. Get it here:
Training – lots of stuff(c)
Hey. Charl here. Lots of stuff is happening on the training front right now (ed: right now!), and I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of it.
1. New schedule published
At the start of the year we always try publish a schedule of when and where our various training courses are happening. Of course it changes a bit as the year progresses, but its a pretty good overview of where you need to be if you want to participate in one of the courses. The current 2011 schedule can be found here.
Season’s Greetings
To all our customers, staff (past and present), business partners, friends and associates I’d like to wish a joyous and peaceful festive season. What started out as a depression is slowly becoming a success and I thank you for all your support during this past year. I look forward to seeing you all again soon and sharing with you an exciting and prosperous 2011!
Internal spotlight
As the year winds down, it’s time to mention a few internal victories that are fun to share:
Daniel Cuthbert and Rogan Dawes (both staunch OWASP proponents) have joined our assessment team, which is a big boost. Welcome guys! Glenn Wilkinson, a lead analyst, had his Masters thesis listed on Amazon Dominic White was interviewed in all his glory on .za teevee over Wikileaks
Black Hat Abu Dhabi – Full … NOT!
The bad news is that our course at Black Hat Abu Dhabi is completely full. The good news is … they’ve given us a bigger room! So if you’ve been told the course is full, or if you haven’t registered yet, please do it quickly before it fills up again.
Problems? Please contact us or mail training[at]sensepost[dot]com.
New SensePost Website – check it out
Sigh. We’ve never been much good at marketing or advertising, and I guess we still aren’t. But we have tried to give our old website a bit of a face-lift, and it’s starting to feel like we’re finally making some progress.
Certainly most of the content is new and accurate and and certainly its much more comprehensive than our previous one. We’ve also gone to some effort to implement a more user-friendly CMS that will allow us to keep the content more current and interesting.
HBN BootCamp Updated!
Hey Everyone,
As promised last week, we have made changes to the content of our HBN BootCamp course. We have updated the course content to include the following attack vectors, vulnerabilities and environments.
Web applications Client-side attack vectors Intranet vulnerabilities and exploits Time-based attacks Privilege Escalation and Pivot attacks Third Party software exploitation Data Extrusion techniques We believe this will significantly change the course content and encourage you to sign up for our training.
CANSA Shavathon 2010
This past Thursday we received notice that Boogterman & Partners would be a host company for the CANSA Shavathon 2010 taking place on Friday, 05/03/2010. So when I send out an email to everyone at SensePost, little did I know at the time what a huge thing this would turn into. However I really shouldn’t be surprised as this is a typical show of how “We Roll”!
I was challenged (as the only girl in the office) to shave my head for CANSA. Well what can I say, the guys really wanted to see me do this because the enthusiasm was amazing! However more importantly we raised R3000.00 for this worthy cause and I was also able to donate my hair (as it met the length criteria) to make a wig and a R100 also goes to CANSA when they sell it. CANSA Shavathon’s goal was to raise R10 million and it would seem they have raised over R19 million so far which is brilliant! Showing how supportive South Africans are in general to this worthy cause which makes me proud to be South African!
So long.. and thanks for everything..
Considering how freely i’ve ranted on our blog over the past few years i found it incredibly hard to to write this post. SensePost has been my home for the better part of a decade and i have been haroon@sensepost.com much more than i have been haroon meer.
In truly boring last post manner i wanted to quickly say thanks to everyone for making it such a fun ride. From the awesome people who took a chance on us when we were scarily young and foolish, to the guys (and girls) who joined us to help make SP elite. From the many customers who tolerated my sloppy dressing to Secure Data Holdings who have been awesome in every interaction we have ever had with them. From the people who have used our tools, read our work and contributed ideas to the people who read this blog (Hi Mom!).
