HACKINT 2012 Pictures and Next Class Info

by Robert M. Lee on Jul.26, 2012, under HACKINT Competition, HACKINT Training

Tom Hamlyn was kind enough to take pictures during the HACKINT 2012 competition which are posted below. At the next AFCEA luncheon we’ll be presenting an award to each of the team members from Team TracerT for taking first place in the competition. They were truly an awesome group and the AF is lucky to have such skilled operators. More importantly they were humble and helped out the other teams’ members who were less trained when they ran into issues. I’ve never seen that at a hacking competition before and was proud to have it happen amongst Air Force members.

Eric Trombly and I have been working hard to finalize the edits to the Fundamentals of Hacking class. The next offering (already full) is August 4th and it will be one of the last times I teach the Fundamentals of Hacking class at Ramstein AB. Eric has proven to be incredibly competent and passionate about teaching so he will be taking over the reins of the class at Ramstein which will allow the class to be taught more often. I will take the class and be teaching around the Frankfurt area where I currently live. Furthermore, I’m going to start working on a Forensics class now that the Fundamentals of Hacking class is at a solid state.

There are others who have approached HACKINT about becoming instructors and teaching the class at their location; very exciting! We will be incorporating a new system at HACKINT where we have Assistant Instructors, Instructors and Lead Instructors. An Assistant Instructor is someone who wants to volunteer/help out teaching alongside an Instructor. After an Assistant Instructor teaches alongside an Instructor for a few classes they can become an Instructor and teach on their own. A Lead Instructor is someone who develops/guides a course and how it is developed and carried on. All along the way those who help teach at every level will (besides just doing good work for the future generation) be rewarded with professional references and resume building material from the HACKINT staff.

All in all we at HACKINT are very excited about the level of support not only from the Ramstein AB and AFCEA community but those who have reached out with support from outside our community. Thanks again and all the best!
