The Winter Hacker Festival 2013 features two days of training hosted by Sumit Siddharth on "The Art of SQL Injection." Mr. Siddharth is a world renowned digital security attack methodology instructor who has presented on the topic of database attacks at some of the most prestigious hacking conferences around the world. Attendants of this class can expect to gain a comprehensive overview of SQL injection attack methodologies, the theory behind attack different vectors, and the tools used to take advantage of the inherent flaw.

SQL injection is one of the most common and critical web application vulnerabilities that often lead to database theft and web server compromise. Some of the largest historical credit card breaches were the result of SQL injection attacks, such as the major payment processor breaches that took place in 2008. This vulnerability continues to be a critical, ongoing issue to date. "The Art of SQL Injection" will reveal the latest techniques of database exploitation and attack mitigation. More information is available at the official Winter Hacker Festival website.

The competition includes an array of exploitable hardware/software vulnerabilities that mimic real world scenarios, ranging from basic web application attacks to simulated SCADA based critical infrastructure takeovers. This tournament been featured at hacking conferences nationwide and has been the subject of mainstream media coverage.

Prizes are awarded to the team which establishes themselves as the most skilled hacker crew, by defeating challenges which are noted on a digital scoreboard.
