White Hat Hacking course round-up

Okay, now that the WHH course is over, here’s a quick link to all the presentations [in Romanian]:

Also, for all those who attended the course, I have some extra content available for download on whh.tudy.ro. For the ones that weren’t present at the last meeting: you may contact me directly for access. ;)

A big thanks to MAP UBB for their help in organizing this, and of course to all the attendees, along with a note that I’m still available for any questions/discussions you might want to raise on the subject. :)

White Hat Hacking course #3

This Saturday I’m holding the third and last part of my White Hat Hacking course.

This one is going to address information security (malware, botnets, phishing, crimeware, scareware, ddos attacks, etc), web threats (SQLi, XSS, CSRF, RFI) and some general network/security best practices.

The time and place are the same as previously announced.

White Hat Hacking course #2

After last week’s meeting, where we talked about hacking ethics and social engineering, tomorrow it’s time for the second part of my WHH course – this time about privacy, social media security and wireless networks.

The time and location are the same. :)

White Hat Hacking course

Just got back from Sinergija ‘09 in Belgrade, thus the delay in announcing this: after last year’s course’s positive feedback, I’ll be holding the White Hat Hacking course again this year, starting tomorrow.

Even if it’s roughly the same outline as last year, there’s going to be some extra/updated content. To sum things up, I’ll be addressing topics such as social engineering, hacking ethics, systems security attacks, penetration testing, web and wireless security.

You can find more details on the time and place of the event on the event page.

Microsoft Security Essentials is available!

Microsoft Security Essentials, the free antivirus from Microsoft is finally out of beta. :)

It’s available for XP, Vista and Windows 7 users (both x86 and x64), with the sole mention that your PC must run genuine Windows in order to install it.

Web 2.0 threats: Koobface

Earlier today, I found an interesting read on the TrendMicro blog, on what might be the greatest and most resilient Web 2.0 malware known to date – Koobface. :)

They even have a well-documented pdf about Koobface to go with the blog article.

Enjoy the lecture! ;)

White Hat Hacking, part 3

Tomorrow, 10 a.m., same location. :)

I’ll be talking about network security best practices.

UPDATE. Here’s the presentation:
