Take the next step in your journey towards network mastery in a friendly environment still focused on learning and take another step closer to preparing yourself for the competitive environment of Capture The Packet
Packet Inspector
The perfect introduction to network analysis, sniffing, and forensics. Do you want to understand the techniques people use to tap into a network, steal passwords and listen to conversations? Packet Inspector is the place to develop these skills! For well over a decade, the Wall of Sheep has shown people how important it is to use end-to-end encryption to keep sensitive information like passwords private. Using a license of the world famous Capture The Packet engine from Aries Security, we have created a unique way to teach hands-on skills in a controlled real-time environment.
Hardwired
Don’t know how to make a network cable and want to learn? Has it been years? Or do you think you’re a pro? Come see if you can… make the best cable at con by cut/wire/crimp.
WalkThrough Workshops
Come sit down and take a self guided journey to learn something hands on with us. We have an array of skills to learn including FleetDM, Linux, NetworkOS, Botnets, and others as well! We have people there to help answer your questions if things get a little dicey and make sure you have the best time while picking up something new.
Linux Trainer
Knowing how to use the Linux command line is a critical skill for any good security practitioner. This trainer will have 10+ problems covering some of the most fundamental Linux commands. This trainer is for people new to field and for those who want to hone their Linux command line-fu.
NetworkOS
The Network-OS workshop will take you into the mysterious world which underpins modern computing and allows people to talk across the globe. This of course being the network itself. In this workshop you will familiarize yourself with the command line of network devices. Step by step, you will configure devices to talk to each other, share information about the computers connected to them, and relay their network information and traffic between each other. No experience needed, know how to type and copy/paste.
RegEx Trainer
Regular Expressions or RegEX are used everywhere! If you aspire to be a Pentester, Threat Hunter, Programmer, Network Engineer, DevOps or really anything in technology today, RegEx is a skill all the greats have and the majority of the industry are terrible at.
