April 5th 2014 - Pen Testing Training Day

Do you think you have the skills to work as a white hat hacker? Does the idea of penetration testing applications and infrastructure and learning the latest techniques for breaking into systems seem to be your ideal career? Are you able to describe complex technical issues to non-technical managerial staff without using complex technical terms? If you've been working as a developer, in infrastructure or application support, and maybe already know the difference between nmap, metasploit and sql injection, then this could be the event for you! 

We're running a one day complete overview of penetration testing starting with how to develop a career in penetration testing, through the methodologies involved and how to be a professional, ethical, hacker to the common tools and techniques used. The afternoon session provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your skills as you work in teams to hack into other team's systems and protect your own. Please note this opportunity is only open to a maximum of 30 BCS members, and that we recommend only those who have a genuine interest in a penetration testing career, and have experience of working with web applications, databases, and network protocols should register.
