HACKINT

The DEF 202 – Packet and Analysis and Intrusion Detection Systems is set to take place on Mainz Kastel (Wiesbaden) Post Saturday 23rd from 0900-1600.  The class is full again and I’m looking forward to teaching another great group of students.  After the last class there was some great feedback including a recommendation concerning the labs.  I greatly appreciate the feedback and am making adjustments to the lab based on the feedback.  I plan to teach the same class again March but may have to use the smaller classroom in the ADPE building because the Community Center Annex is already booked that weekend.  I will keep everyone up to date on the decision.

The current plan is to take the feedback from the March 16th class and finalize the course.  After the course is finalized I will be recording it so that it can be uploaded to the hackINT website that is launching this summer.  Classes on the website will start with the Hacking (HCK) classes and the Defense (DEF) classes; there will be 4-5 classes at launch.  Following launch and over the summer I will be working on developing the Forensics (FOR) classes.  The intention is to offer a class in-person 3-4 times and then record it so that it is available for everyone online.  Class in person will continually be taught and new instructors trained to continue that classroom experience.

Thanks!

The Feb 16th Intrusion Detection Systems class filled up within the first day of it being advertised so, through the help of AFCEA Chapter 158, a new location was obtained.  hackINT will be hosting the class in the Community Center Annex on Ramstein, Air Base so we can now fit 30 students in the class.  However, that class is already filled as well with about 15 people on the “reserve list.”  So in March, likely the second weekend, I’ll be returning to Ramstein to teach the class again.  Those on the reserve list will get first priority for seats in the class.

Also, at the request of a squadron, I’ll be offering the IDS class in Wiesbaden on Feb 23rd.  If you are in the Wiesbaden area please feel free to email me as there are a few seats still available.

I have added a new Wireshark lab to the IDS class and made some updates and additions based off of student feedback; feedback is always important to hackINT and helps immensely with delivering classes students want to take.  Following the March class I will be developing 2-3 more classes and will have some exciting announcements in April/May time frame!

As always thank you and continue teaching and learning,

Robert

The next class offering from hackINT will be the Intrusion Detection Systems class and will take place Feb 16th from 0900-1600 at Ramstein Air Base.  If you are interested in attending please email me at RobertMichael.Lee (..at..) Gmail.com

Information about the course:

“hackINT will be offering its Intrusion Detection Systems class Feb 16th on Ramstein Air Base.  The class is free to attend and will cover the basics of what Intrusion Detection Systems are, their types, and their importance to network defense.  In addition,  students will have an opportunity to use a popular open source Intrusion Detection System (Snort) on a Virtual Machine that will be handed out in class to analyze network traffic and build basic custom Intrusion Detection System signatures.  Intrusion Detection Systems are important parts of network defense and understanding these systems and how they operate are critical to defense even for a home network.  The class will start at 0900 and end no later than 1600 and there will be a certificate available documenting six hours of instructor led class to be used towards Continuing Education Credits for anyone needing them.  Additional details will be provided prior to the class via email.”

Also, if you are accessing this site following AFCEA West please feel free to contact me if you would like to have me train 1-2+ people to teach hackINT classes at your AFCEA Chapter.  I’ll be doing “train the trainer” sessions in April and May for a number of the classes offered by hackINT.

Thanks!
