Hello and welcome to Episode 2 of my holiday challenge series.
|
|
We'll be discussing try hack me's advent of Cyber Challenge.
|
|
Since some of the information you are about to hear is time specific,
|
|
I want to let you know that I'm recording this near the end of November in 2023.

If you missed the first episode which introduces this series,
|
|
you can go back and listen to HPR 3996.
|
|
I have been using try hack me for several years, and I recommend it to all of my students.
|
|
It is a great environment where people can get hands-on experience with technology that relates
|
|
to cybersecurity, all from the comfort of their browser, and free year round.
|
|
The try hack me advent of Cyber Challenge is a free gamified environment which focuses on penetration testing,
|
|
security operations, and engineering, forensics, and incident response, malware analysis,
|
|
machine learning, and more. This year's challenge opens on December 1, 2023,
|
|
which is the reason why I'm posting twice this week.
|
|
Typically, the advent of Cyber Challenge includes daily beginner-friendly exercises
|
|
for people new to cybersecurity. These can consist of walkthroughs, video tutorials, and challenges.
|
|
There are also prizes available based on random drawings and on participant success.
|
|
InfoSec personalities like John Hammond, Gerald Ogger, insider PhD, and InfoSec Pat
|
|
are featured in this year's challenge. You can play with last year's advent of Cyber Challenge

|
