The training
started with 24 hours spent on TCP/IP fundamentals and packet
analysis. John Wohlfert provided the training on TCP/IP, with
Steve Hailey covering selected topics from the Packet Analysis
and Intrusion Detection course. All participants were given
access to study materials online, and many completed a practical
on packet analysis, analyzing several different packet captures.
In December, the Certified Ethical
Hacker portion of the training commenced. We made it through
both volumes of the CEH textbooks, and completed several lab
activities. Participants saw for themselves how a Web server
was compromised by taking control of one themselves and creating
a backdoor. Trojanized programs were used to take control of
computers and keyloggers were installed to capture keystrokes
and passwords.
22 students sat for the Certified
Ethical Hacker exam. All passed!
All learned a great deal, and the
training will go a long way in helping to solve cases involving
hacking and malicious software. With the "Trojan defense"
becoming more common, the Washington State HTCIA chapter will
continue to offer training of this type to its members. All
of this training was provided at a price tag of 650.00 versus
the thousands that it would cost elsewhere. Due to the success
the Washington State chapter realized, the training may be offered
for other HTCIA chapters in late 2008, early 2009.
