Cyber Academy
Expand your knowledge of cyber with the brightest minds in the industry.
Battelle Cyber Academy
Throw away what you thought you knew about cyber. Are you ready for the challenge of your life? Battelle’s Cyber Academy is a 10-week training program designed to provide fundamental knowledge for entry-level employees as well as specialized coursework for mid-career cyber professionals.
Courses include:
- Reverse Engineering - Explore Reverse Engineering (RE) tools in a lab-based setting with advanced topics including binary instrumentation and concolic analysis, and more.
- Vulnerability Research - Discover tools and methods and public domain materials covering vulnerability discovery and categorization. Students will perform evaluations of systems and devices such as web services, databases, embedded security appliances. A simulated capture-the-flag exercise concludes this course and gives students the opportunity to focus on various exploitation categories of interest to them.
- Hardware RE - An introduction to hardware systems and embedded communications and how they factor into the RE process. Serves as a hardware overview with emphasis on how these devices communicate and how they can be analyzed.
- Embedded Hardware RE - Delve into advanced topics such as recovering firmware from a hardware device and subsequently performing RE on extracted firmware, then evaluate the platform for potential vulnerabilities and develop exploits against the target.
- Networking - Learn the importance of cryptography in a networked environment. Build a network-aware application and implement cryptographic protocols to enable secure communications.
- Kernel/Drivers -Learn to develop, build and modify a Linux Kennel through a series of drivers that allow the student to interact with (and interrogate) the system.
- Embedded Systems - Explore the details involving a system’s Boot modes/options, the process of bootstrapping and how systems moved from BIOS to U/EFI. It concludes with an overview of forensic analysis on memory and filesystems.
- Machine Learning - This brief course presents the concepts and resources necessary behind machine learning. It covers mathematical concepts consistent with this topic.
- Side Channel Analysis - Conduct a side channel attack against an Arduino board and cover the implications and purposes of this kind of hardware vulnerability.
- Lean Mean Software - Understanding how to build C programs for space constrained environments and other conditions.
- Mobile - Introduction to cellular systems, including Android and iOS.
