Region: EMEA
Length: 24 Hours
Dates: January 20 - 23, 2025
Time: 12:00 - 6:00 PM UTC - Coordinated Universal Time (Europe)
Instructor: Chad Rikansrud
Learn how the various layers of the stack work (Operating System, VTAM, RACF, Network, etc.) so you can develop your own techniques and skillets to perform the appropriate mainframe pentesting. This course provides training on the latest and up-to-date attack vectors, techniques for gaining system access, and how to perform an end-to-end penetration test. Attendees will be introduced to the platform by being allowed to explore the operating system and understand the weaknesses within the protocol that allow us to automate much of our testing. Attendees will also be introduced to several open-source tools and libraries available for all the steps of a penetration test including Nmap, Python, Kali, and Metasploit as well as being able to write their own tools on the mainframe using REXX, JCL, C, and CLISTs.
This course consists of lectures, instructor-led demonstrations, and hands-on lab activities.

A quick introduction to Python for programmers in other languages, especially REXX.
Python's data types, operators and conditions, loops, and functions are covered during the workshop. Attendees will get a necessary introduction to objects, classes, and Object Oriented programming methodology [OOP]. Advanced language statements like generators, decorators, and lambdas are explained on the basic level of understanding. Mentioned are essential built-in functions to create Python scripts accepting command line arguments and working with files. The workshop briefly introduces Python Standard Library [PSL] and working with additional modules and packages. The workshop suits REXX programmers who want to start writing Python scripts.

From business applications to subsystems to vendor-provided software, the need to understand and support Kubernetes (K8s) and container-based applications has arrived.
During this introductory session, we will provide a brief overview of Kubernetes, compare Kubernetes concepts to z/OS concepts, and then guide you through a hands-on experience on deploying Kubernetes, installing and running a sample container-based application on Kubernetes, and monitoring the application’s health afterward.
