Python is a simple, user-friendly language that is designed to make automating the tasks that security professionals perform quick and easy. Whether you are new to coding or have been coding for years, SANS SEC573: Automating Information Security with Python will have you creating programs that make your job easier and make your work more efficient. This self-paced course starts from the very beginning, assuming you have no prior experience or knowledge of programming. We cover all of the essentials of the language up front. If you already know the essentials, you will find that the pyWars lab environment allows advanced developers to quickly accelerate to more advanced material in the course.

All security professionals, including Penetration Testers, Forensics Analysts, Network Defenders, Security Administrators, and Incident Responders, have one thing in common: CHANGE. Change is constant. Technology, threats, and tools are constantly evolving. If we don’t evolve with them, we’ll become ineffective and irrelevant, unable to provide the vital defenses our organizations increasingly require.

Maybe your chosen Operating System has a new feature that creates interesting forensics artifacts that would be invaluable for your investigation, if only you had a tool to access it. Often for new features and forensics artifacts, no such tool has yet been released. You could try moving your case forward without that evidence or hope that someone creates a tool before the case goes cold…or you can write a tool yourself.

Or perhaps an attacker bypassed your defenses and owned your network months ago. If existing tools were able to find the attack, you wouldn’t be in this situation. You are bleeding sensitive data and the time-consuming manual process of finding and eradicating the attacker is costing you money and hurting your organization big time. The answer is simple if you have the skills: Write a tool to automate your defenses.

Or, as a Penetration tester, you need to evolve as quickly as the threats you are paid to emulate. What do you do when “off-the-shelf” tools and exploits fall short? If you’re good, you write your own tool.

SEC573 is designed to give you the skills you need for tweaking, customizing, or outright developing your own tools. We put you on the path of creating your own tools, empowering you to better automate the daily routine of today’s information security professional and to achieve more value in less time. Again and again, organizations serious about security emphasize their need for skilled tool builders. There is a huge demand for people who can understand a problem and then rapidly develop prototype code to attack or defend against it. Join us and learn Python in-depth and fully weaponized.

You Will Learn How To:

• Leverage Python to perform routine tasks quickly and efficiently
• Automate log analysis and packet analysis with file operations, regular expressions, and analysis modules to find evil
• Develop forensics tools to carve binary data and extract new artifacts
• Read data from databases and the Windows Registry
• Interact with websites to collect intelligence
• Develop UDP and TCP client and server applications
• Automate system processes and process their output

SEC580: Metasploit Kung Fu for Enterprise Pen Testing

Instructor: Jeff McJunkin

Many enterprises today face regulatory or compliance requirements that mandate regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments. Commercial tools and services for performing such tests can be expensive. While really solid free tools such as Metasploit, are available, many testers do not understand the comprehensive feature sets of such tools and how to apply them in a professional-grade testing methodology. Metasploit was designed to help testers with confirming vulnerabilities using an Open Source and easy-to-use framework. This course will help students get the most out of this free tool.

This class will show students how to apply the incredible capabilities of the Metasploit Framework in a comprehensive penetration testing and vulnerability assessment regimen, according to a thorough methodology for performing effective tests. Students who complete the course will have a firm understanding of how Metasploit can fit into their penetration testing and day-to-day assessment activities. The course will provide an in-depth understanding of the Metasploit Framework far beyond simply showing attendees how to exploit a remote system. The class will cover exploitation, post-exploitation reconnaissance, token manipulation, spear-phishing attacks, and the rich feature set of the Meterpreter, a customized shell environment specially created for exploiting and analyzing security flaws.

The course will also cover many of the pitfalls that a tester may encounter when using the Metasploit Framework and how to avoid or work around them, making tests more efficient and safe.

This is an immersive hands-on course that simulates a full-scale enterprise attack scenario. It allows students to assess the situation at every stage of a complex multi-layered penetration test and teaches them multiple ways to identify, enumerate, exploit and compromise an organization. Students will have access to a cloud-based LAB containing multiple networks, some of which are hidden. The theory and exercise content reflect real-world encounters rather than text book challenges and students will complete a vast number of exercises including everything from OSINT and reconnaissance, to creating and executing phishing campaigns against our in-LAB live bots, all the way through to post-exploitation, lateral movement and OOB data exfiltration.

Each Student Will Receive:

We realize that 2-days is not a lot of time and therefore students are also provided with the following benefits.

• 14-day extended LAB access after the course finishes
• Access to a new LAB subnet and CTF style board with challenges to further test your skills
• 14-day Slack support channel access where our security consultants are available
• A Raspberry Pi with Kali Linux pre-installed
• A portable wireless keyboard/mouse
• A hard copy of the RTFM

Who Should Attend:

Software Defined Radios (SDRs) are extraordinarily powerful tools that have been transforming wireless InfoSec. Often, newcomers to SDR get stuck because they haven’t developed a solid understanding of radio basics. In this introductory course we will teach you two things: proficiency with the gnuradio software and the basic concepts of radio design. The course is structured such that your gradually expanding expertise with gnuradio is leveraged to create projects exploring progressively deeper radio topics. Those topics include: signals, sampling, modulation, gain, filtering, I-Q sampling, noise, and the SDR hardware itself. After completing this course, you will have a firm understanding of gnuradio and will be able to build analog receivers and transmitters. These transmitters and receivers will form the basis for nearly all your future SDR-related InfoSec activities.

After laying this foundation, we’ll finish the course with two projects that will give you a taste of the kinds of things SDRs make possible. In the first project, we’ll build a digital radio system with SDR hardware. We’ll then use our skills to reverse engineer a simple digital control system.

This course avoids highly mathematical engineering lectures and focuses on teaching through more than 20 practical, hands-on exercises. You will spend most of your time doing, not just listening.

Class Requirements (skill level): No previous SDR knowledge required.

Class Requirements (hardware/software): Nothing! You’ll use one of our laptops, pre-installed with all the software you’ll need to work through the class projects. You won’t have to create a new Ubuntu partition, build the software and verify that the drivers work. You also won’t have to wait for the instructor to debug the machines of any students that couldn’t quite get their software setup right. You don’t even have to buy any SDR hardware. We take care of all of that. You just show up and start learning.
