If we can get this in locally for that price, AIS would be sending 7-8 people to it. -tim ---- Timothy D.

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.

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 -- Joe Budzyn [log in to unmask] 301 Computer Center Ph: (517) 355-4500 x162 Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824
