The first four months of 2017 has, without a doubt, brought plenty of excitement for eLearnSecurity – we flew in our MISSION: Dubai winner for a visit, hosted three filled-to-the-brim technical webinars, sponsored a bunch of security competitions, and of course, gave MASPTv2 a fresh new update along with a (RED)-hot giveaway!
On April 2010, Penetration Testing Professional v1 was launched. With 15 students hopping on board that first month, our journey got the fuel it needed to begin. Today – seven years, eight training courses, three office locations, and thousands of students later – the eLearnSecurity mission carries on.
Lately, it’s been a rough ride for security: a vicious cycle of data breaches, ransomware raking in billions, IoT botnets being made available to everyone, and more zero-days than you can shake a stick at.
All of us, in one way or another, have been or are still exposed to threats from cybercriminals looking to make a quick buck.
We know it, you know it: things go by at warp speed in the mobile world. Everything – from the hottest smartphone models, the latest operating systems, to the freshest apps – becomes prehistoric and replaced with something faster/stronger/flashier/shinier almost as soon as it launches.
Thank you for being one of the earliest students of the Mobile Application Security and Penetration Testing v2! First and foremost, we want to congratulate the select few of you for blazing through the certification. And, to those who are yet to take the exams, don’t stop – your eMAPT is already on the horizon!
The Networking and IT Security Society, or NETsoc, recently concluded their 7th annual TacOps on March 4th, 2017 at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) Networking Lab in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The organization’s premiere winter event, TacOps tests challengers’ cybersecurity prowess and know-how with various attack and defense competitions, squaring them off against peers and international participants.
Before we go on an altogether different vulnerability hunt on Tuesday with Google’s Kostya Serebryany, warm up by tackling this regular expression brainXploit challenge.
We’ll wait for your answers in the brainXploit thread in the eLearnSecurity Community Forums.
As some of you probably figured out already, we just can’t get enough of a good hacking event here at eLearnSecurity. And now, we’re back at it – we’re pleased to announce that we’ve collaborated with Cyber Security Challenge Belgium as one of its prize partners for the third installment of this security competition.
Strap on your boots, because on March 21st, 2017 1:00 PM ET, eLearnSecurity is taking you hunting in our latest webinar. This time, we’re bringing you a live demonstration of real-world vulnerability hunt, where we’ll see how a fuzzing test could’ve identified and prevented the havoc caused by the infamous Heartbleed bug.
FINALLY! After weeks of schedules, itineraries, and reservations – not to mention the unfortunate mishap at Henri Coandă International – MISSION: Dubai winner Costin-Alin Neacsu stepped foot in the emirate of Dubai on January 15th, 2017.
Some of the eLearnSecurity Dubai team greeted him at the Al Maktoum International Airport in the southern part of the city.
