Cansec Pen-tester training May 3 & 4 2005

[Alfred Huger <ah () securityfocus com>]

All,

Each year which the Cansec West security conferance rolls around I post
to this list lauding it's excellence. This year is no exception. If you're
looking for a strong technical track conferance with a strong emphasis on
penetration testing and cutting edge research it's tough to beat Cansec.
It's also on the Canadian dollar which to most (unless your a Canadian) is
good news given it's depressed state compared to the Euro and the USD.

This year they are also offering small classroom instruction on topics
near and dear to the pen-testers heart. I've listed the URL below in
addition to the teachers and courses listed so far.
