Getting started in hacking seems like a big task; Where to start? What should I start learning? How can I practice? [BiaSciLab](http://www.biascilab.com) answers all these questions and gets you started on your hacking career!
This three hour, intense, hands on (bring a laptop!) hacking class will get you started with web application hacking. You will learn: Setting up a virtual lab, SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting and more!
These hacking skills can be applied in real life. CTFs? Using just these two attacks is how BiaSciLab got into the top 20 in an adult [CTF](https://blog.securityinnovation.com/teaching-young-adults-to-hack). Want to jump into the online cyber ranges like [HackTheBox](https://www.hackthebox.eu/)? There is an entire section of web applications to hack! Bug Bounty? One of her friends found a XSS bug on a website and got paid!
If you are looking to get started in hacking, this is the class to take!
While this class is open to all, parents should ask themselves if their young hacker will understand the content and learn something, or just become bored and distracted. Please use your best judgement so as not to distract the instructor and other students.
Students requirements:
Laptop with at least 4 cores
4 GB ram or greater
Windows, Linux or Mac operating system
Admin privileges
To speed up the class, please install VirtualBox for your operating system. Also download and save Ubuntu 18.04 server to your downloads folder. This will greatly speed up the class. The wifi at the conference will be saturated and very slow!
