SecTor – Training
So I was lucky enough to be able to take part in SecTor training this week (as I previously mentioned). I spent all day Monday in HD Moore's Metasploit training.
Having been been an avid metasploit user for quite some time, I was hoping that the training would include some features that were unknown to me. I definitely wasn't disappointed.
The initial portion of the training was fairly straight forward and included writing a basic auxiliary module and a plugin. The basics of Metasploit use were also covered.
This occupied roughly half the day, at which point we had lunch... the food wasn't great but it also wasn't awful. Then we were right back into the training.
Over the course of the afternoon we covered meterpreter, NTLM (smb_relay, and some others), Wireless and IPv6. A number of new and interesting things were covered and I really enjoyed the afternoon.
Following the training, myself and a colleague who also attended to the training met up with HD and a few other speakers and attendees to grab dinner. This was the sort of thing that I really enjoy about the cons, sitting around the table with a few beer talking shop. While I enjoy the talks, a lot of the time there's nothing overly new and it's when you're chilling and chatting that you really get a chance to discuss the interesting things.
At the end of the day, the training was definitely worth it. The only real shame (although a bonus for those of us attending) was that the training room was so empty... We had ~11 people. My worry is that SecTor won't be able to get decent trainers next year unless they can increase the attendance numbers.
Stayed tuned for another post on SecTor - Day 1... (which will eventually be followed by SecTor - Day 2).
