Val Smith and Colin Ames will be teaching an updated version of Tactical Exploitation Training at Blackhat DC Jan 16-17 See http://www.blackhat.com for more information.

Using a combination of new tools and lesser-known techniques, attendees will learn how hackers compromise systems without depending on standard exploits.

We will cover things like kerberos ticket hijacking, post-exploitation techniques, ssh trickery, and more. Hope to see you there!
