In this two day, advanced course, we will learn how to protect your systems by hacking into them. Many security courses today discuss ways to shore up your operating system, but they don't show you how the "bad guys" try to get in. Our goal is to help you formulate security policy and shore holes up by seeing how they really get inside.
