HiTB to hold hacker workshop
Hack in The Box (HiTB) and its associates, Bellua Asia Pacific, will conduct a two-day, hands-on wireless security training from June 5 to 6 at the Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
The training course is part of HiTB’s “deep knowledge” series of network security trainings and will include a “war driving” session, the company said in a statement.
The course, open to 15 participants only, will not be an ordinary run-of-the-mill classroom-based training course, said Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran, founder and chief executive officer of HiTB.
“Attendees will get hands-on experience in the art of wireless hacking and learn the tools and methods employed in breaking wireless networks,” he said.
Kannabhiran said the training will kick-off with attendees being introduced to the various tools in a wireless hacker’s toolkit, including packet capture and network discovery tools.
Attendees will then be taken by a special bus, equipped with a high-powered wireless antenna and booster for war driving – an exercise designed to detect all unsecured wireless networks in various areas.
