Forwarding this from the uuasc list (figured folks would be interested here):<br><br><snip><br>I just wanted to let the group know that SANS is putting on a free<br>
mini-course on Penetration Testing on their website. The biggest<br>
complaint I've seen that UUASC folks have with SANS courses is cost<br>
and expectations that courses wouldn't be worth it. Since this is<br>
free, here is a chance to see if it's hype or truly the greatest thing<br>
since FreeBSD. They already had one that was booked solid so they<br>
have another scheduled for December 22. It's free registration, and<br>
the course uses elluminate (JAR application). This is an excerpt from<br>
the real course, not just a pitch. The free registration is at:<br>

<br>
Of course, if you want the whole thing, there is a February session<br>
scheduled in Marina Del Rey, it's about $1,000 cheaper (with a<br>
discount code, just email me off-list for it) and has extra hands-on<br>
excercises you don't get at the big conferences (for example, everyone<br>
creates their own custom USB autorun backdoor). See<br>
<a href="http://sans.org/losangeles09_cs/" target="_blank">http://sans.org/losangeles09_cs/</a> for the local info. You may also<br>
want to apply for the student/workstudy position to bring the costs<br>
down to about $100 per day (<a href="http://sans.org/training/volunteer.php" target="_blank">http://sans.org/training/volunteer.php</a>).<br>
