This tutorial is part of the EGI Conference 2015 (Lisbon, 18-22 May)
Overview
Cyber attacks have become ubiquitous and attackers incessantly strive to find weaknesses in systems on the Internet and abuse them. Successful attacks not only cause internal problems but also can damage reputation of the attacked organization or lead to other consequences. To face current threats it is important to understand them and the way how attacks are performed. The tutorial is aimed to illustrate basic principles of cyber attacks. The participants will take the role of an attacker and will be tasked with penetrating a remote machine and abuse it for an illicit activity.
