How I did not Solve the SANS 20
15 Holiday Hack Challenge\, by Lex Sobrinho
SANS have been running
hack challenges for a number of years. Each challenge is designed for both
\, experts and beginners. Sometimes\, in contexts where learning is the ma
in focus\, understanding the thought-process can be more beneficial than a
rriving at the results: beginners get exposure to how more advanced users
solve these challenges\, whilst more advanced geeks get to compare their t
hought-processes to others'\; hopefully learning something new.
As
2015 was my very first live hack competition\, rather than simply giving t
he answers to the challenge\, I wanted to share my experience with trying-
and-failing before each stage of the challenge\, until arriving at the des
ired result. My intentions are to encourage beginners to take part in thes
e challenges\, and to gain insight on how more advanced users would solve
the same or a different problem. This talk is delivered for the absolute b
eginner to follow\, whilst still (hopefully) keeping the experts slightly
entertained.
