I'm interested in this, and have registered for the sake of numbers, but I 
have a conflict at the scheduled time. Does anyone know if a recording 
will be available after the fact?

Hi all,

Don't forget to register for the free SANS NetWars webcast!   If your boss 
needs convincing that NetWars is a great deal and a great training 
opportunity for security staff, then this is the session to attend. 
NetWars is cheaper than a normal SANS class, it will be self-paced and 
there is no travel - unless you want to join us at Security Professionals 
Conference.

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.
