Professionally Evil Spring Break 2019

Secure Ideas

Professionally Evil Spring Break is a 3-day training event in Jacksonville Florida.  Secure Ideas is bringing together world-class instructors with in-depth, hands-on training materials.  This allows attendees to gain knowledge on security issues, testing, and defenses that they can use the very first day they return to work.  
 
Whether you are a developer, system admin or a security consultant this event has something for you.  The Professionally Evil Spring Break has two different classes scheduled.
 
<H3>Professionally Evil Application Security:</H3>
The first is Secure Ideas' Professionally Evil Application Security (PEAS) class.  This class focuses on web and mobile application and API flaws such as the OWASP Top 10.  The students will explore SamuraiWTF and various targets to learn the techniques of penetration and security testing.  We will also focus on the various vulnerabilities that affect applications and web APIs. The class will teach these vulnerabilities, such as XSS, CSRF, SQL injection, and others, from both the perspective of how to find them within an application and how to defend against the attacks.
 
Throughout the three days, the students will reinforce the knowledge by performing hands-on exercises.  These exercises lead the student through the various security issues within applications and APIs. The capstone of the PEAS class is the capture-the-flag (CTF) event on day three.  This CTF is designed to simulate a real-world penetration test to allow the attendees to practice the techniques learned throughout the class.
 
<H3>Professionally Evil Network Testing</H3>
The second class in the Spring Break event is our Professionally Evil Network Testing  (PENT) course.  This three-day course will teach attendees a basic methodology for network penetration testing and an introduction to the latest tools and techniques. Students will walk through the phases of Reconnaissance, Mapping, Discovery, Exploitation, and Post-Exploitation with hands-on demonstrations designed to build their skill as a penetration tester. The course will demonstrate real-world techniques that teach students how they can pivot from seemingly  low-risk vulnerabilities into full domain take over, with a goal of demonstrating actual business risk to the organization. 
 
Hands-on technical exercises reinforce every part of this course allowing attendees the opportunity to use common tools and tactics in a safe &amp; structured learning environment. By the end of the 3-day training, students will understand the structure of a penetration test and have the experience necessary to begin practicing the demonstrated skills.
