The following e-mail is from the SANS Institute regarding a one day course
on computer security. The fee is $650 per person if one were to attend the
course with some sort of discount if four or more people attend from the same
organization.
If there is enough interest, we can try to get a presentation in Lansing or
on campus. I need to know how many would be willing to pay $650 to attend, and
hopefully it will be less than that. The commitment needs to be firm per the
attached email.
Time for this offer is limited so please let me know quickly.

Subject: "Hackers Beware" On The Road
Hello, I'm Stephen Northcutt from the SANS Institute. Extensive
damage caused by CodeRed and Nimda illustrate the impact hacker
tools can have on a network. The damage also shows how ineffective
most organizations' defenses are against hackers. System, network,
and security administrators have discovered they need to understand
how these attacks work and how to defend against them.
One of SANS most popular instructors, Eric Cole, has agreed to
present a special class that highlights the key hacker exploits and
defenses from his incredibly successful new book, "Hackers Beware."
This one-day course was the highest scoring offering at Network
Security 2001 in San Diego last week. The inaugural offering of this
on-the-road training opportunity will be in Washington DC, November
28, 2001 in conjunction with the CDI East Conference. The description
of this course can be found at: http://www.sans.org/HackersBeware.htm
We will run this class in several other cities, wherever the
greatest interest is expressed. If you are interested in attending,
or sending your people drop us a note at [log in to unmask]
Sending us an email is not the same as registering, you will still
have to register after we set the schedule. However, if you are
interested in having Hackers Beware taught in your city, tell us your
name and your organization's name, the city (and convenient dates) you
would want to attend, and the number of people from your organization
who will definitely come, the number who will probably come, and the
number who may possibly come. The price is $650 and if four or more
people come from your organization, there is a discount.
If we have enough interest, we will run the courses in the city
you recommend. Please let us know by 10/31/2001
Regards,
Stephen Northcutt - The SANS Institute
PS. Eric is the top rated instructor of hacker exploits in the
country. If you haven't experienced SANS' extraordinary teachers,
perhaps these comments from some of his students in San Diego, will
give you a better picture of how good it is.
"Outstanding course! Anyone working in the field or just interested
in knowing how hacker think, why they hack, and how easy it is to
hack and protect systems from intrusion need to take this course.
The best instructor yet!"
- Bobbie Brady- 21st Theater Support Command.
"Eric is an excellent speaker and can relate his own personal
experiences to the issues he is teaching. A very valuable combination
when teaching computer security."
- Russell Morrison-AXYS
"Very valuable content enabling the good guys to better know the
enemy in order to defend against them."
- Gary Rose-WAMS
