Windows - The Undiscovered country

Instructor - Chuck Easttom

Pre-Requisites - Some knowledge of a C like programming language

Abstract - This workshop will explore new ways to use little known or undocumented programming techniques in a Windows system. The focus will be on methods that can be used to subvert the security of the system. For example api calls that can be used in manipulating the system or even in creating spyware. There will also be coverage of important SQL stored procedures that can be used in the same manner, for example there is an undocumented stored procedure that will blank the System Administrator password.

Required Materials - Bring a laptop with some version of Windows (even on a VM is fine). A c++ compiler and or a copy of Visual C#
