No organization can fight back against cyber attacks if their security
and system administration staff does not know how the most current
attacks are launched and the technical details that allow the attacks to
be blocked.
That's why SANS Security 504, Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident
Handling is SANS second most popular course. What is not well known,
SANS Hacker Techniques course is *much* better than courses offered by
other organizations, because SANS teaches you not only how to use the
attack tools (as others do), but also how to stop the attacks (as others
fail to do). By helping you understand attackers' tactics and strategies
in detail, giving you hands-on experience in finding vulnerabilities and
discovering intrusions, and equipping you with a comprehensive incident
handling plan, the in-depth information in Security 504 helps you turn
the tables on computer attackers.
This course addresses the latest cutting-edge insidious attack vectors
and the oldie-but-goodie attacks that are still so prevalent, and
everything in between. Instead of merely teaching a few hack-attack
tricks, this course includes a time-tested, step-by-step process for
responding to computer incidents, a detailed description of how
attackers undermine systems so you can prepare, detect, and respond to
them, and a hands-on workshop for discovering holes before the bad guys
do. Additionally, the course explores the legal issues associated with
responding to computer attacks, including employee monitoring, working
with law enforcement, and handling evidence.
The SANS Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling course runs
for 11 weeks and is divided into 7 sections:
Introduction to SANS and GIAC Certification Orientation
Incident Handling Step-by-Step Computer Crime Investigation
Computer and Network Hacker Exploits, Part 1
Computer and Network Hacker Exploits, Part 2
Computer and Network Hacker Exploits, Part 3
Computer and Network Hacker Exploits, Part 4
Part 6: Hacker Tools Workshop
This challenging course is particularly well suited to individuals who
lead or are a part of an incident handling team. Furthermore, general
security practitioners, system administrators, and security architects
will benefit by understanding how to design, build, and operate their
systems to prevent, detect, and respond to attacks. Security 504 will
prepare you for the GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH)
certification.
A frequent question is whether this is a self study or a live course led
by a Local Mentor? The answer is "both".
Students study SANS Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling
course books at their own pace. Each week, students meet with other
professionals in the area and SANS Local Mentor, who will lead class
discussions, provide hands-on demonstrations, point out the most salient
features, and answer questions. The Mentor's goal is to help you grasp
the more difficult material, master the exercises, and prepare you for
the GCIH certification.
Course Materials:
Hardcopy SANS Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling course
books
Local Mentor Program study materials
Eleven Weekly 2-hour Mentor led sessions
GCIH Practice Exams
Attempt for GCIH Certification, including assistance with Practical
All Students will receive 6 months access to their online study
materials and practical assignment at the start of their 2nd Class
session.
