What you can expect from Raider 501: Edge Network Compromises

The best defense is a stronger offense. RAID-501 introduces learners to offensive cyber tactics and network penetration strategies. Participants will have to navigate three attack scenarios in which they will learn to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, along with conveying findings as a report. The range instructor can provide debriefing and additional details on the specific scenarios.  

Key Takeaways

  • Upskill current workforce  
  • Get hands-on with industry tools in virtual labs.
  • Harden defenses by finding exploits first.

For Individuals:

  • Gain an understanding of network traffic.
  • Learn industry tools in virtual labs.

Training

RAID-501 is designed for cybersecurity teams but can also be taken as an individual skill challenge. The course is taught through three Purdue Cyber Range scenarios with a debriefing by a range instructor over the course of two days.  

Purdue Cyber Range is a virtual testing ground that allows individuals and teams to experience both defensive and offensive cyberattack scenarios. Each scenario is overseen by a Range Master, ensuring your team's experience is as educational as possible. 

Course Topics

Offensive Tactics: Understand and identify vulnerabilities in web applications, networks, and databases.   

Attack Scenarios: Properly form and implement multi-step attacks by using scripts and brute force.

Reporting: Accurately provide findings to both technical and non-technical teams.
