Come learn how to hack networks without needing to piss off your local coffee shop, housemates, or the Feds! Bring your laptop and by the end of this workshop, everyone can walk away having intercepted some packets and popped some reverse shells
In the workshop you’ll solve a series of challenges, each in a contained virtualized network where it’s just you and your targets. We’ll start with a networking crash course to introduce you to packets and their layers, as well as how to use Wireshark to dig in and explore further. We'll practice network sniffing and scanning to find your targets, and of course how to execute a man-in-the-middle attack via ARP spoofing to intercept local network traffic. With those techniques, we'll go through challenges including extracting plaintext passwords, and DNS poisoning. All together, this workshop aims to give you the tools you need to start attacking systems at the network layer.
