You will receive a confirmation of your application and attendance (or declination) before the end of Tuesday 19 Janaury.

How can I prepare myself? 

Make sure that you are familiar with Wireshark, the TCP/IP protocol and how to ‘read’ a PCAP with C&C traffic. Sites like http://www.cyintanalysis.com/pcap-analysis-practice/ or http://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/ can be useful.

The next ‘inhousedag’ & SOC Challenge selection round will be held on Friday 22 January 2019. The program will start at 12:30.
