Description

(last update: 27.02.2017)

This experimental project seminar is about learning and training with the advanced techniques of practical system and network security.

We will have two teams (each with about 4-5 members) defeating each other or the tutoring team within three challenges - with changing roles either as attackers or defenders 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 live session.

Besides, each participant will select a security relevant topic, do research on it (reading and testing), and give a short presentation (15-20 mins) at the end of the seminar.

Topics for the challenges:

    1. System- and Network Security
    2. Web- and Service/Application Security
    3. The whole bunch

Topics for individual research topics (come later)
