I’m going to be giving to workshops in Cologne in July, with what I think are really fun topics: WordPress Security and Hands-on security for beginners.

So embrace this opportunity to learn some hacking or security for a one time only startup friendly price

WordPress Security

Date and time: 08.07.2014 from 10:00 to 13:00
Language: German

This will be sort of a walk through hardening: covering Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL and last but not least WordPress.

What do I have to take into account to make it more secure?
What plugins can I use to perform automatic backups?
Can I use WordPress and stop being low hanging fruit?

The answer to these and other questions will be addressed

Location: Startplatz. Cologne
Registration: here (link in German)

 

Hands-on Security für Einsteiger / Hands-on security for beginners

Date and time: 15.07.2014 from 17:00 to 20:00  Due to a small amount of pre-registrations, this workshop has been cancelled 
Language: German / English (depending on the participants)

Live hacking done by you!
After a short walk through some basic theory every participant gets to boot up into Kali Linux (Penetration Testing Linux Distribution) and with the trainer start hacking (the lab environment prepared for the event)

This is my go of technical security awareness. The main idea is to realize how easy some attacks are and how to raise the bar against them.
After performing some test and attacks yourself you will never see security the same way again. Hopefully you will become more aware of the risks out there and not become part of the statistic.

So embrace this opportunity to learn some hacking for a one time only startup friendly price

Update:

I regret to inform that the Hands-on Security für Einsteiger / Hands-on security for beginners  workshop has been CANCELLED.
After reviewing the number of pre-registrations, we’ve determined that it would not be fair to all parties to continue with this event.
If you’ve pre-registered, either your check will be mailed back to you within the week and if we’ve processed your check, a refund will be mailed by the end of the month.

We appreciate your support.
