Security buffs rejoice!
Now is your chance to prove your worth, sharpen your skills, or maybe learn a little something new. InfoWorld is offering a free online course to professionals wishing to keeping their security skills current.
In my opinion, this is a great idea. Hackers, spies, and script kiddies are constantly improving their skills, each year becoming more adept at tanking remote PCs. The "good-guys" need to improve themselves as well and this is an excellent opportunity to do so.
Classes will be conducted through email, with one assignment every weekday for four weeks, up until Friday, October 16.
Those wishing to sign up will need to be employed (unemployed black-hat hackers need not apply), so those without a job cannot get access to the class. If you're thinking about taking advantage of this, be sure to sign up before midnight of September 20th.
Well, after reading the brief overview of what the course involves, I am afraid that the Infoworld "Boot Camp" would definitely give me 'the boot' since I don't even understand the first week's lesson. Would love to see one of you take it.
ReplyDeleteIt looked interesting. I signed up for it...we'll see how bad my ego gets bruised in the 1st few days! Is anybody else signing up?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to give it a shot, but unfortunately I fall under "Jobless Newb Hacker" and can't even sign up.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could show us the email assignments that you get in class; would certainly be neat to go over them with the professor as a lecture.
Nicholas, Yes, I am interested if you tried this class. I would like to hear your and Dave's opinion on the course work before I take that one on.
