Description..

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.

Due to the relationship with SANS and ISSA Anthony Giandomenico a SANS Mentor will deliver a 1 hour subset of the SANS Security 504, Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling to the ISSA Members. The chosen topics will be the following:

Buffer Overflows
Worms

Anthony Giandomenico will go in-depth in describing the above attacks, provide real world examples and of course identification/mitigation echniques.
