SANS Pen Testing Twitter Contest

I didn't finish the flare-on challenge.  I'm reading the write-ups.  I actually feel like I learn quite a bit from reading the write-ups, and other people's solutions.  There is usually more than one method to solve a problem, and some methods are more efficient than others.

I'm in the midst of the SANS Cyber Defense Challenge.  I'm currently in 3rd place.  That may change soon because there are some really competitive and brilliant people in this challenge.  I was happy to be in the top fifty.  I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be this close.  The first and second place winners have a chance to go to San Diego for a couple of days for a chance to be named Ultimate Cyber Defender 2015.

The SANS Pen Testing blog just released a new contest today.  It's a simple Twitter contest.  All you have to do is take a photo of yourself wearing a NetWars shirt, OR with a coin or SANS sticker, OR with any item associated with SANS, OR with a SANS book, OR with the pen-testing blog website in your browser window and tweet it to @SANSPenTest with the hashtag #SANSHackFest.  There is a chance to win free two day admission to HackFest on Nov 16th and 17th.  You can enter as much as you like between 9-25-2015 and 10-02-2015.  You can check that out at: https://pen-testing.sans.org/blog/pen-testing/2015/09/25/2015-sans-pen-test-hackfest-twitter-contest
