Let the feeding frenzy begin. Feel free to get creative in spreading the good word of EH-Net, OffSec and the ethical hacking community as a whole. Also, being online training, this makes it easier for our international EH-Netters to accept the prizes!!

Permanent link:[Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/437/8/) Quote Win 1 of 5 Offensive Security Courses!!

Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: rance on August 06, 2012, 11:28:51 AM Dang! Can I give back my blackhat badge?!? ;)
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: hayabusa on August 06, 2012, 12:04:30 PM Might have to step up my game, so I can take WiFu... (Trying to finish OSCE now, but wouldn't mind adding WiFu, as well...)
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: rance on August 06, 2012, 12:07:46 PM I'd be all over AWAE or PWB...
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: hayabusa on August 06, 2012, 12:11:32 PM AWAE not in the list, else, that'd be my pref, too...
(Edit- Not on the list, likely, because it's still a LIVE-only class) Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: ajohnson on August 06, 2012, 12:25:08 PM That's a nice one! :) And that's an understatement! ;D Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: Jamie.R on August 06, 2012, 02:11:55 PM Yah been waiting ages hoping this was gonna come along wanted to do PWB for like 3 years now but money always been issue just got post post post and pray :P
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: tylerver on August 06, 2012, 03:01:53 PM So since I am new to this game of cyber security, I am guessing winning ANYTHING of this package would do nothing but help me! So you can count on me posting at least everyday until they email and tell me I've won something!
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: don on August 06, 2012, 03:50:15 PM Quality is better than quantity! But welcome to EH-Net nonetheless.
New to the game of cyber security? So what do you do now and what do you want to do in the future? This might also be answered better by you starting a new thread in the Greetings Board (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/board,98.0/), where new members intro themselves. Don Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: tturner on August 06, 2012, 04:22:03 PM Very nice prizes Don, once again. :)
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: jjwinter on August 06, 2012, 05:39:45 PM How is the winner chosen? Pure random chance? One chance x number of posts? I'd really like to win, but I don't want to spray the boards with newbie questions and "How are you today?" posts.
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: DataDwarf on August 06, 2012, 05:56:24 PM @jjwinter
This thread should answer your question: http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,576.0/ (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,576.0/) But as Don mentioned earlier; "Quality is better than quantity!" Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: unicityd on August 06, 2012, 05:58:27 PM Don has posted about this as a response in previous months giveaways. It's based on participation with some preference for people who have been active in past months.
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: 3xban on August 06, 2012, 07:11:45 PM Awesome prizes this month, thanks Offensive Security!! I don't know if I want to know now what Don has to do to get these giveaways. Did something happen in Vegas that stayed there?? :D
But seriously, good luck everyone! So since I am new to this game of cyber security, I am guessing winning ANYTHING of this package would do nothing but help me! So you can count on me posting at least everyday until they email and tell me I've won something! Agree on the quality vs quantity as well. Simply spamming the boards will not cut it, though spamming them with insightful content and grand debates might. Welcome to the boards and good luck! Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: Agoonie on August 06, 2012, 08:43:52 PM Great prizes yet again. Good luck to all the winners of these awesome monthly prizes.
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: cortexprime on August 08, 2012, 01:35:03 PM Seems like no matter what month it is, the prizes are awesome.
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: tylerver on August 08, 2012, 03:16:50 PM But with me just starting out in cyber security, how can one validate my contributions to this forum and the field as a whole? Now me working as an Apple Rep for the military community in Germany has many positives for contributing to my local community, it does no good here. So the only thing I can do is read posts, and respond with more questions. But now if the prize givers are looking for a newbie into cyber security that is passionate about computers, then I am the guy. So yes, I am going to make posts on daily, but I don't think my knowledge of security can contribute to any one persons success, and therefor must try in every way possible to win said prizes, because even the smallest prize that is being given away here can do nothing but make me better!
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: Jamie.R on August 08, 2012, 03:42:43 PM tylerver its done by posting on this forum so posting good quality material weather than be a discussion topic or a really good tutorial. You say you don't have much knowledge on security but you might have more than someone even newer to the industry than you and you can answer their question.
You can also ask good question too that will help you learn about security. Maybe you are trying to do a task in your home lab like hmm setting up ssh with a yubico for example so you can try break it. You could do post asking for help if you get stuck or maybe you might find a way to bypassing the yubico that would be interesting for others to read. Another option could be a review on a book that you have just read. Hope this helps Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: YuckTheFankees on August 08, 2012, 07:47:50 PM Best prize so far! Great job Don!
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: Jamie.R on August 09, 2012, 03:40:59 AM Yah love the free stuff you can get on this site dont see why more people dont get involved.
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: sh4d0wmanPP on August 11, 2012, 07:11:32 AM I always read a lot here but with a sponsor like this I just had to sign-up haha. This year I started to turn my knowledge into certificates (always good when you meet the HR folks) and of course Offsec certs are something worth having. So regardless of winning they will see me for sure.
Will AWE become available as normal track as well? Right now it links to Blackhat. Very interested in it since web pentesting is my weakness. Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: MaXe on August 11, 2012, 08:16:42 AM That's pretty cool, may the best EH-netter win! ;D
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: UNIX on August 11, 2012, 09:16:04 AM Will AWE become available as normal track as well? Right now it links to Blackhat. Very interested in it since web pentesting is my weakness. AWE (Advanced Windows Exploitation) is a live course only. Their Advanced Web Attacks course will most likely become available in an online format by the end of the year. Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: Jamie.R on August 11, 2012, 09:30:11 AM I think lot people would be interested in their advance web attacks just hope if or when they bring it online it be at price that's affordable. I really like Offensive course the one thing I dislike is the price and I not saying the amount I saying paying off in one large sum as paying the price if your a company is not a problem but is you a student the price is a bit high to pay off in one large sum.
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: msantiago2222 on August 12, 2012, 03:59:39 PM Thanks for such an amazing offer and would love to have the chance to learn more!
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: pocman on August 29, 2012, 01:05:13 PM yep this rocks :).
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: don on August 30, 2012, 02:09:01 PM Still time to impress the judges!! OK, there's really only one judge, but there still is time. I'm pretty solid with about 2 or 3 of the prizes. But with 5 prizes to give away, there's lots of ways to nudge your way in the winners' circle!!
Don Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: SecurityMonkey on August 30, 2012, 08:55:08 PM Do you accept cash bribes? LOL....
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: Jamie.R on August 31, 2012, 03:19:06 AM lol is the going rate not beer tokens :P
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: hayabusa on August 31, 2012, 07:16:09 AM Do you accept cash bribes? LOL.... <evil grin> SURE! Just send me a cash bribe equalling the cost of the course you want to win, and I guarantee you'll get a seat! :P Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: jjwinter on August 31, 2012, 10:08:42 AM I can wiggle my ears....
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: rance on September 13, 2012, 10:13:46 AM Who scored these goodies? Never saw a post...
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: ajohnson on September 13, 2012, 12:13:09 PM The announcement is usually made mid-late the following month. I'm sure it takes awhile to do all the number-crunching, evaluate the bribes, etc. ;)
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: rance on September 13, 2012, 12:57:45 PM Well crap... i was out-bribed in the beard competition at Defcon. Let's hope it's not a pattern... :)
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: YuckTheFankees on September 28, 2012, 11:55:28 AM I wonder who won the bidding war :P
Title: Re: [Article]-August 2012 Free Giveaway Sponsor - Offensive Security Post by: don on September 28, 2012, 01:44:34 PM Almost there... Consuming all of these bribes really puts a person behind schedule. Anyone have any ibuprofen?!?! 8)
