HITBCyberWeek virtual trainings: Mobile hacking, secure coding, bug hunting
The virtual edition of the HITBCyberWeek 2020 security conference starts on November 15. For four days, attendees will be able to hear keynotes and presentations from experts such as Bruce Schneier, Paul Vixie, and many others.
Simultaneously (and as per usual), those in search for specific cyber security knowledge and effective exercises can opt for one of the virtual trainings that have been scheduled to take place.

- Tim Blazytko’s course on Software Deobfuscation techniques
Finally, there’s a 4-day course for those interested in Advanced Fuzzing and Crash Analysis led by Richard Johnson, and 2-day course on bug hunting by Dawid Czagan.
Interactive quizzes, collective exercises and practical assessments
Classes are via livestream, with virtual lab environments and structured through a learning management system.
With the new virtual format, HITB trainers are incorporating more interactive quizzes, collective exercises and practical assessments into their courses that will help trainees engage better with the content and with each other. This will also help to understand better whether trainees have effectively gained the skills they sought from their course.
All trainees will receive digital certs corresponding to their course choice, with additional badges awarded for completion of practical tests and quizzes.
