Dear Members and Friends of the Lansing I.S.S.A.,
Our third annual Netwars Challenge is fast approaching! It will be held on
Saturday, May 19 at the New Horizons training center in East Lansing
(see attached flier). Many have already asked about this event. We
anticipate that it will be even more successful than our previous
adventures!
Why? 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!
The others are senior level incident & network analysts with
instructional experience, from GE-CERT, General Electric.
Pastries and coffee will be served early, during a pre-event 'mix'
time. Lunch will be provided also, included with your Netwars package.
You may register/prepay for this event by going to our chapter's web site (http://lansing.issa.org). Click below "Netwars is here!" and then click the "Pay Now" button. You can pay via PayPal -or- you can select "Don't have a PayPal Account?" to pay by credit
card.
PLEASE share this message with your security colleagues! I'm sure they
will be interested too because Netwars is a great opportunity to learn,
grow, and mix!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Butt,
CISSP, Chapter Secretary
Lansing Information Systems Security Association
