Description
This experimental project seminar is about advanced techniques in practical system and networking security.
We will have two teams defeating each other or the tutoring team within three challenges - with changing roles either as an attacker or defender of a target IT system.
For each challenge, the teams will have 4 weeks to prepare their arms: setting up a secure system (under given constraints) for the defenders, choosing and testing recon and penetration tools for the attackers. After preparation, the teams will fight out a supervised Capture-the-Flag contest.
Topics for the challenges:
- Network Security
- Web- and Application Security
- The whole bunch
Important Notice: We are NOT guiding you for hacking and participation in this seminar could NOT be an excuse for any kinds of your malicious actions towards unauthorized resources over Internet!!!
Requirements
Good knowledge in
- networking technologies (TCP/IP stack, ...)
- operating systems (memory management, ...)
Very good knowledge in security basics (i.e. lecture on Internet Security - Weaknesses and Targets)
This seminar has a limited number of participants! Up to 10 students can apply!
