------Original Message------ Hello:
We are pleased to announce that the popular SANS Hackers Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling course returns to Grand Rapids, in our local mentor format, beginning on Tuesday, May 3.
This SANS "Hackers Techniques" course will be led by SANS local mentor Matthew Carpenter. To register, please go to: http://www.sans.org/local/details.php?nid=976.
The Local Mentor Program is designed for professionals who are seeking a flexible alternative to SANS' popular six-day conferences. This program enables students to participate in SANS training, without the expense and inconvenience of travel or taking time out of the workday and the advantage of a small classroom setting. There will be no more than 15 students in this class.
SANS Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling is one of our most popular courses. It addresses the latest cutting-edge insidious attack vectors and the oldie-but-goodie attacks that are still so prevalent. Instead of merely teaching a few hack-attack tricks, this course includes a time-tested, step-by-step process for responding to computer incidents, a detailed description of how attackers undermine systems so you can prepare, detect, and respond to them, and a hands-on workshop for discovering holes before the bad guys do.
Additionally, the SANS Hacker Techniques course explores the legal issues associated with responding to computer attacks, including employee monitoring, working with law enforcement, and handling evidence. This course will provide all the training and support you need to attempt the GCIH certification. For complete information on this class, and to register, please visit http://www.sans.org/local/details.php?nid=976.

A frequent question is whether this is a self-study or a live course led by a Local Mentor? The answer is "both".
Think of this course as a seminar, rather than a lecture course. Students study SANS Hacker Techniques, Exploits and Incident Handling course books at their own pace. Each week, students meet with other professionals in the area and SANS Local Mentor Matthew Carpenter, who will lead class discussions, provide hands-on demonstrations, point out the most salient features, and answer questions. His goal is to help you grasp the more difficult material, master the exercises, and prepare you for the GCIH certification.
Your mentor will be Matthew Carpenter. Beginning with programming an IBM PC back in 1981, Matthew's passion for bending computers to his will has lead down an interesting career path. Having earned his Bachelors in Computer Science in 1997, Matthew joined the job force as a Technical Trainer/Network Consultant. Accomplished as a Certified Network Engineer (CNE) and soon after as a Certified Network Instructor (CNI) he learned the value of deterministic and secure computing. Supporting Microsoft servers caused him to nearly complete his MCSE before diverting his attentions elsewhere.
Having learned enough Unix in College to read email and use MUDDs, Matthew picked up Linux in 1998 and found Caldera OpenLinux to be both user-friendly and stable. After obtaining his CCNA and spending 3 years in telecomm supporting authentication, remote access, and access control systems he joined the IT Security Services team where he could do more damage. He promptly obtained the GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) certification and is currently working on the Forensic Analysis (GCFA) certification. Matthew's enjoys helping others understand the emerging Internet Threat landscape. In his own words, "There's nothing like seeing a Windows C: prompt on your Linux box to make the threats real to you."

As mentioned above, the tuition fee includes your GCIH certification attempt. How important is a GIAC certification? We want to make sure you are aware of the GIAC job board on the GIAC website, http://www.giac.org. You will see the job board in the upper right hand side of the page, with jobs listed in a matrix by state.
We receive several positive comments about the value of listening to the mp3 version of the webcasts and instructor audio for each class. Did you know that SANS is selling 15 GB Apple iPods for $235 in our online store? You will not find a better price anywhere on the web. The new mini iPods store one fourth the number of songs and cost $249, so you can see, this is a nice deal. To order, go to https://store.sans.org/store_item.php?item=146.
