Webcast Overview:
Build Your Own Army of Darkness: XSS Frameworks for Zombies and Profit
Featuring: Seth Misenar

In this preview to the newly updated SEC542 Web Application Penetration Testing course being offered in Amerstdam, you will learn how build and control your very own zombie battalion/Army of Darkness. The discussion will start with a whizz|bang overview of the new 6 day version of SEC542, and quickly move to XSS Frameworks and, of course, zombies galore. Whether you are excited or petrified by the prospect of zombies, join Seth Misenar for this hour long webcast. As Bruce Campbell/Ash of Evil Dead fame would say, "Groovy".

Thank you for the link. I had asked about the Sans542 in another thread as i was thinking about doing it. This will definitely go a far way.

Can you tell us any thing else on the new offering?

sounds cool, are they going to make that version available on demand?

Safe travel and keep up us updated.

Thank you Seth for the link.

I was waiting for a while for an OnDemand version of the course, can we expected to be out in March/April 2009?

Thank you Seth.
