1 Symantec Cyber Readiness Challenge Preparation 1.1 Resources Participants will need to provide their own system for the Cyber Readiness Challenge, such as a laptop or notebook computer. Devices such as an iPad or Android tablet cannot be used. An ethical hacking toolset such as BackTrack is required to participate. Some participants may already have these resources at their disposal, including a preferred ethical hacking environment and tools. You are encouraged to use what you have or may be familiar with. If you currently do not have an ethical hacking environment, or a “toolset,” we recommend starting with BackTrack. It is free to download and use. The 32-bit version is recommended to be able to support the Cisco VPN client that might be used for the Cyber Readiness Challenge. Virtualization software, such as the free VMware Player or VirtualBox, is an easy way to get started with BackTrack using the virtual appliance version or a full installation from the distribution. Wired and/or wireless networking will be available for the event. The Cyber Readiness Challenge will be accessed via a Virtual Private Network, or VPN. The software necessary to access it will be provided as part of the setup for the event. Details for installing the software are included next.
