CHCon

<H2>Abstract</H2>
Do terms like XSS, SQLi, RCE, Buffer Overflow, Rootkit, Trojan, Phishing, DDoS, Malware, Virus, or just the word “Hacker” leave you confused? This training is for you. We all had to start somewhere and this training for you, the beginner. Dan and Kevin are here to help you into the world information security. This will be a light hearted, fun and interactive session.
We’ll talk through what these terms mean, and try to answer questions as we go. There’ll be live examples of the basics, and an opportunity to try these out in a lab (so bring along a laptop). The goal of this session is to come away with some usable knowledge, and an entry level understanding of the information security world.
