HACKINT

The 2nd ever HACKINT class was completed today.  Eric Trombly and I remodeled the two day class we were teaching to fit everything in to one day.  We went through the Hacker’s Methodology and then useful tools/tactics from regex to BackTrack.  The students (we had a full class of 11) came in with no experience in hacking and left understanding the methodology and having hands on experience cracking passwords, creating keyloggers, scanning/picking vulnerabilities, remotely exploiting machines, and more.  It really speaks volumes about the people in the Air Force to be honest.  I enjoy teaching/talking about cyber so I get a lot of joy in the opportunity to do this class.  But when you view people like Eric and the students who are so passionate about learning/teaching that they give up 10 hours of their free time on a Saturday it’s hard not to feel really good about the future of the cyberspace domain.  I’ll reemphasize that.  Students give up 10 hours of their free time on a Saturday to come learn about hacking/cyber because they are interested in the future of the cyber domain.  I am continually honored to serve among people I can admire and respect so greatly.

I plan to continue to rework the class to add in some more features/tools and to fine tune it.  I will also continue teaching the class 1-3 times a month; as long as I keep having interested and passionate students it is a privilege.   After I get most of the guys/gals on Ramstein that are interested in the class through it I’m going to start developing the Fundamentals of Forensics class for HACKINT and start offering that.

All the best,
Robert
