Go the Wrong Way

Presented at HOPE 2020 Virtual Rescheduled, July 30, 2020, 9 a.m. (240 minutes).

Good developers study documentation carefully and thoroughly understand their language. However, some people just want to code fast, break into things, and skip over the details. This Capture the Flag workshop is for them. Even if you've never programmed before, you can make simple attack tools in Go. You will learn to perform port scans, HTTP requests, brute-force logins, crack password hashes, and perform encryption using XOR and AES. The workshop is structured in a CTF format. Each participant works at their own pace. The techniques will be demonstrated, with complete step-by-step instructions to lead beginners through the easy challenges. There are also harder challenges for more experienced participants. You will be helped as needed, to ensure that everyone learns something new. https://wiki.hope.net/index.php?title=Go\_the\_Wrong\_Way\_workshop
