Q/SH/D® Qualified/ Software Hacker / Defender Certification Class & Exam

Hacking Software - Attacker Techniques Exposed

The true threat: insiders and outsiders. This 72 hour class begins with examples of security breaches, then move to current day exploits and vulnerabilities of real application code. The case studies will illustrate the broad range of threats that organizations face from both external actors as well as insiders. For each attack scenario, we will go through the underlying flaws, exploits, vulnerabilities and consequences.

Text Materials:  SU Class handbook, lab, SU resource CD’s and attack handouts.

This 72 hour accelerated class is taught using face to face modality or hybrid modality. Class includes 72 hours of contact studies, labs, reading assignments and final exam - passing the final exam is a requirement for graduation.

Grades - All students must ordinarily take all quizzes, labs, final exam, and submit the class practical in order to be eligible for a Q/ISP, Q/IAP, Q/SSE, or Q/WP credential unless granted an exception in writing by the President. Know that Q/ISP classes draws quite the spectrum of students, including "those less comfortable," "those more comfortable," and those somewhere in between. However, what ultimately matters in this course is not so much where you end up relative to your classmates but where you end up relative to yourself in on Friday of class. The course is graded as a pass or fail solely on your attendance and participation. Those less comfortable and somewhere in between are not at a disadvantage vis-à-vis those more comfortable. Escalating labs help you prepare for real world scenarios. Each labs escalates upon itself, increasing in intensity, rising to the next level, while your mitigating the threat step by step

Books - No books are required for this course. However, you may want to supplement your preparation for or review of some lectures with self-assigned readings relevant to those lectures' content from either of the books below. The first is intended for those inexperienced in (or less comfortable with the idea of) hacking. The second is intended for those experienced in (or more comfortable with the idea of) hacking. Both are available at sites like Amazon.com. Both are avail at the SU Hacker Library. Realize that free, if not superior, resources can be found on the SU website.
