The NACRA ethos is to create live-fire cybersecurity learning environments in which veterans of cybersecurity and aspiring learners of the discipline can collaborate.

What will you learn in this workshop

About this EVENT 

What will I be doing?

Attendees will perform exploits on a vulnerable website using the OWASP program toolkit ZAP.  You train to identity weaknesses and to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information from data tables connected to the website.  You will see how the bad actors use these vulnerabilities for theft, destruction and ransome of systems. The ZAP collection of tools is part of 100’s of Kali Linux preinstall tools for assessment and attack within multiple web and network services. You will then create documentation of the  vulnerabilities found and consider what steps you could take to prevent such damage from occuring.  

Who is this Workshop for?

This Workshop is for anyone to gain new understanding and important hands-on cyber vulnerability assessment skills. Support is ready when you need it through onscreen guides to explain how to use the tools and provide hints or even tell you what to do next to “keep progressing and learning”.
Advanced cyber operatives will find the workshop a valuable review and refresher to hone current skills and develop a few new skills.

How do I access the Workshop Cyber Range?

Each participant is provided 30-day access to our Web App Secure Assessment Exercise on the Cogent Cyber Range training platform. No credit card or obligation by registering to participate.
