SANS, EDUCAUSE and REN-ISAC are working on bring the SANS NetWars[1] program to the EDUCAUSE Security Professional Conference (Indianapolis, May 15-17, 2012). The tentative plan is to enable continuous play for the months leading up to the conference and then have a tournament during the conference. This would give people a chance to practice their hacking skills before pitting those skills against others in the education community. NetWars is an interactive environment for computer attacks and analyzing defenses. It is split into 5 different skill levels; a written skills assessment is provided at the end of play so participants will understand which skills need improvement. If we get enough interest, it would $700 for the continuous play. Participation in the tournament would be included if you attend the Security Professional Conference. If you would like to participate in the tournament and will not be attending the conference in person, there would be an additional cost, which has not been determined yet. Join us for a free web cast on the NetWars program, presented by Ed Skoudis, the brains behind the SANS NetWars program.
