It challenges participants with WiFi and Bluetooth wireless hacking against an enterprise infrastructure which is specially designed to mirror a typical corporate wireless and wired network deployment. AIRRAID2 is the successor to the original AIRRAID tournament, Asia's first-ever true (i.e. not mere wardriving!) wireless hacking tournament, which was held in Singapore's Suntec Convention Center in August 2005. Photo archives of the original AIRRAID are available at http://airraid.securitystartshere.org. ThinkSECURE now brings this unique brand of wireless hacking excitement and flavor to the Land of a Thousand Smiles! === Who is it intended for? === "AIRRAID2 continues our tradition of giving back to the Asian IT- security community by providing them an entertaining and fun way of testing their skills against each other and against a realistic enterprise-class wireless-and-wired infrastructure setup. As many security professionals rarely get a chance to do some real, full- bore, hands-on hacking, our purpose-built tournament infrastructure mirrors an extensive corporate wireless/wired network which allows them to fully and legitimately employ all their skills to meet the in- game challenges we've put in place," said Mr. Julian Ho, ThinkSECURE's co-founder. === Why is there a need for it? === Many reports cover wireless security incidents and issues after-the- fact or re-hash old generic warnings and stories. AIRRAID2 cuts through this fluff by: - showing in real life the capabilities that modern hackers and security professionals possess; - revealing "as-it-happens" how they utilize those abilities to compromise a representative and realistic enterprise-class environment; - showcasing the abilities of today's hackers and their security professional counterparts in a real world setting; - highlighting the importance of applying security to wireless networks in a holistic manner and not relying on vendors' technology alone; - illustrating the benefits to IT professionals of attending practical technical certifications such as the Organizational Systems Wireless Auditor and Organizational Systems Security Analyst to develop and upgrade their wireless and enterprise security skills; - making organizations realize that partners' and vendor support/maintenance networks can also be a weak link in the security posture of an organization. === When and Where will the event be held? === AIRRAID2 will be held at the following venue, date and time: Venue: CentralWorld Shopping Complex (former World Trade Center) Level 1, Eden Zone 4 Rajdamri Road, Patumwan Bangkok Thailand Date: Friday, 21 December 2007 Time: 0930hrs - 1900hrs (Bangkok Time) === How do you register to participate in it? === Registration and participation is free!
