Hack Yourself First with Robin Wood - Wave 1

Robin Wood will be leading a hands-on session where you will learn about, and explore, various types of web app vulnerability. There will be discussions about what causes the vulnerability, what impact it can have on a site and ways to fix it.

This session will be split into two waves due to demand and limited spaces, wave 1 (6:30pm-8:00pm) and wave 2 (7:30pm-9:00pm). Both waves will be identical and we'll still have food and refreshments in both waves.

Agenda

• 📢 6:30pm Wave 1 Introduction
• 💻 6:30pm Wave 1 Hacking
• 🍕 7:30pm Social, Pizza, Drinks
• 📢 8:00pm Wave 2 Intorduction
• 💻 8:00pm Wave 2 Hacking
• 🍻 9:00pm Closing/Pub

With the session being hands on you'll need to bring your own laptop and have one of the following installed:

• Burp Suite, Community Edition (https://portswigger.net/burp)
• Zap (https://www.zaproxy.org/)

Also, If you could provide internet connectivity (mobile phone tethering) for your own personal hacking, this would help us a lot, however, we'll be able to provide some internet connectivity if this is not possible.

Robin Wood is a freelance pen-tester, researcher, developer and is the Co-founder of SteelCon, one of the best ethical hacking conferences in the UK. He has a commercial background as a software developer but has always had an interest in security. In 2005 he started moving away from general software development and more into security-related areas.

He had a GIAC GAWN gold certificate and GCIH silver. The gold paper was entitled "Programming wireless security" and took a developer through installing various tools for writing an application to automate the collection of a WPA 4-way handshake.

He enjoys working technically hands on but also enjoys teaching, in which he has run beginner’s courses for getting started in security.

Robin is always working on side projects which run under the creative commons license, many of these can be found on GitHub and on his website https://digi.ninja/projects.php .
