Joseph McCray (@j0emccray<\/a>) is someone who I have been listening to and watching videos of for a while now. \u00a0I first saw him at Defcon. \u00a0He is “The only black guy at security conferences”. \u00a0With the growth of the security industry, there are “experts” coming out of the wood work. \u00a0I had to put experts in quotes because it seems like everyone has an opinion. \u00a0There are more certification tags floating around tacked on to peoples names than I can believe. \u00a0In this world where everyone has gone through “training”, training to pass a test, it is hard to find the people that\u00a0truly\u00a0have a passion and dedication to true security.<\/p>\n

So this comes to why I want to go. \u00a0For a while part of my job has been in security. \u00a0I have written policies to tell people what to do and what not to do. \u00a0I have help guide companies in “best practices”. \u00a0I have helped people gain access in to systems that they got locked out of. \u00a0And I have done more of the old school hacking. \u00a0This type of hacking involves taking things a part to see how they work and how they can be made better or defeated. \u00a0This is a lot of my daily job as a systems engineer. \u00a0Working in the corporate world has taught me that everyone sets things up differently and sometimes you need to reverse engineer how they configured things to know how to make it work. \u00a0So why would I want to go? \u00a0Because I don’t know enough. \u00a0There is so much out there that I don’t know. \u00a0Going over the list of topics that are covered strikes a little fear in me. \u00a0Topics like Metasploit, Maltego, Nmap, Nikto, IDS, HIDDS, NIDS, SIEM. \u00a0I will need a translator just for the names and acronyms.<\/p>\n

This type of training is the type I truly enjoy. \u00a0You are completely immersed\u00a0in to the training. \u00a0With you being away from work and in an environment with your peers and instructors. \u00a0You end of living the training and bouncing the ideas off each other. \u00a0While doing some activity, a conversation will strike up about a topic and you send the next hour working through ideas. \u00a0In the CyberWar class, you get to attack fully patched newer OS (Windows 7, Server 2008R2, and Linux) with all the intrusion detection tools turned on. \u00a0You get to see the logs and alerts that are generated. \u00a0You don’t just go and learn about tools, you learn why these tools work and what effect these tools have on the systems. \u00a0This is how training should be run!<\/p>\n
