Last year I took my kids to San Antonio for some fall heat,
killer whales, and our first visit to
The Alamo. I eventually had to be dragged away from the Bowie knife collection (note to wives:
it's a guy thing).
Now I'm ready to go back. Not because I need more time with whales or knives, but because
SANS San Antonio (Nov 8-13), will be featuring the new SEC560 Network Penetration and Ethical Hacking class.
I have heard
fantastic things about this new class. The courseware author,
Ed Skoudis, apparently pulled out all the stops putting this one together. And, for Ed, that's really saying something.
The class is being taught by Jim Shewmaker.
Shew is a great instructor, and it should be a rockin' fun time. Also on site will be Tanya Baccam (Oracle-security-guru-extraordinaire) and Jonathan Ham. I assisted Jonathan with the Google Hacking class in San Diego last year, and it was an excellent class... with attendees from the NSA to keep things extra interesting.
Think about it... when it's
cold in November, you could be eating chips and salsa, drinking margaritas, and honing your
pen testing skills-- what could be better than that!
