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.
SensePost trains in Spain.
Hey everyone.
We will once again be presenting our BootCamp training course at the BlackHat Europe Conference. It seems this is a quiet year in terms of training sessions so I guess everyone is starting to feel the pinch of the present economic climate. Nevertheless we have committed to being in Barcelona so we’re going for it anyway. It will be the first time we are training in Spain, which is pretty cool and exciting for us!
Sensepost’s Developer and Bootcamp Security courses (November)
Hi All
SensePost will be running their next Developer and Bootcamp courses for 2009, scheduled for November. Please drop me an email if you know of anyone in your area that would like to attend.
– 1) Hacking by Numbers – Developer Edition (16-18 November 2009)
– 2) Hacking by Numbers -Extended (Bootcamp) Edition (10-13 November)
Information about courses:
1) HBN – Developer Edition
‘Hacking By Numbers – Developer Edition‘ is a course aimed at arming web application developers with knowledge of web application attack techniques currently being used in the ‘wild’ and how to combat them. Derived from our internationally acclaimed ‘Hacking By Numbers’ security training, this course focuses heavily on two questions: “What am I up against?” and “How can I protect my applications from attack?” During the course sample applications will be dissected to discover security related bugs hidden within the code. The class will then consider prevention, detection & cure.
Sensepost’s HBN Extended Edition course 11-15th May
We have scheduled our next training course, Hacking By Numbers – Extended Edition (Bootcamp) in May 11-15th .
The course runs for a full 5 days.
Overview The HBN ‘Extended Edition’ is simply an intensive extended version of the regular Bootcamp course. Whilst the content and structure are essentially the same as Bootcamp, the Extended Edition offer students a deeper understanding of the concepts being presented and affords them more time to practice the techniques being taught. Extended Edition is currently offered in Switzerland and South Africa only, or can be arranged on request.

Hack Like You Mean It – we’re taking PCI to Vegas
We’ve been busying ourselves with the PCI DSS in one way or another for more than a year now here at SensePost. Its been a frustrating exercise of mixed messages, politics, tokenism, mixed in with a healthy dose of mixed feelings about what the standard offers and whether that’s good for anyone at all. Now, finally, we’re accredited to do this that and the other under the standard so we feel its time to start speaking our minds on the subject.
FW: HBN Extended Edition 9-13 March
Yes, it is time to offer some technical input by way of our HBN Extended Edition training. There will be no Christmas hat this time round but lots of valued input. We have scheduled our first training course for our new year, Hacking By Numbers – “Extended” Edition – for March 9-13th . The course runs for a full 5 days in Pretoria, South Africa.
The HBN ‘Extended Edition’ is simply an intensive extended version of the regular Bootcamp course.

SensePost Training @ Black Hat DC
So… Black Hat DC is rushing at us like a speeding big… speeding thing. This is just a friendly a reminder about the show (Hyatt Regency Crystal City • February 16-19). We have two courses on offer at the DC show this year – Bootcamp (a highly practical course that teaches method-based hacker thinking, skills and techniques) and Combat (all hack, no talk – our flagship course).
One small change to our usual approach this time is that we’re requesting Combat students to bring their own laptops. On Bootcamp and our other courses we provide pre-configured XP boxes but Combat participants are generally already quite experienced and comfortable on their own platforms.
Hacking By Numbers Online – your thoughts?
We often get asked by students of our Hacking By Numbers courses if the course environments or at least the VMWare images are available after the training is over. As a result we’ve started to experiment with a model for offering our courses in an online environment. The idea would be to maintain the full numbers of labs and technical work, maintain the high standard of trainers and materials, but make the training available via the internet to people at various diverse locations. The approach we’ve been testing appears to show some promise, so we’re hoping to ask some of you for your input and opinions.
HBN Bootcamp – Christmas Edition
As a Christmas special we have scheduled an additional training course, Hacking By Numbers – Extended Edition (Bootcamp) in Pretoria, South Africa on November 24-28th. The course runs for a full 5 days. This course will be offered at a never-to-be-repeated discount price of ZAR 10,999-00 (15% discount on the usual training price). Each trainee will be given a t-shirt and a Christmas hat!
