HBN Extended Edition 6-10 October

We have scheduled our first training course for our new year, Hacking By Numbers – “Extended” Edition – for October 6-10th . 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. Whilst the content and structure are essentially the same as Bootcamp, the Extended Edition offers students a deeper understanding of the concepts being presented and affords them more time to practice the techniques being taught. Extended Edition is currently only offered in Switzerland and South Africa only, or can be arranged on request.

SensePost Training at Black Hat Las Vegas

The Black Hat Briefings is arguably the most significant technical security conference in the world. It takes every year in Las Vegas and also includes a series of diverse technical training courses.

There are a number of courses catered for most levels of technical experience, starting with ‘Cadet Edition’ for novices and ending with ‘Combat’ for expert level hackers.
