This year Netwars takes a different tack; defensive measures and intrusion detection & forensics will be stressed. This is mostly a hands-on and demonstrative, lab-like event that will give you detailed information on defensive tools and strengthen your abilities to use these tools effectively. In particular, BackTrack and Wireshark will be studied and used. > > There will be TWO tracks of Netwars competition offered: Beginner and Intermediate/advanced. And nice, nice technology prizes will be awarded to winners! Presentations on detection tools and defensive use of network monitoring will be given too, as a third track. We ask that you indicate the track in which you wish to participate -- pick one of these three -- by sending me an email. (You may want to simply reply to this message.) This will give our event planners the information they need so that your wish can be accommodated effectively. > > There will be four persons conducting the lab sessions and making presentations, one of which is our own, very knowledgeable Sean Verity!
