"If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now!"


- Kung Fu Panda

All Dark Vortex trainings are led by Chetan Nayak. He strongly believes that in order to have a good understanding of information security, you need to have a good grasp on the fundaments of computer science. Its not only important to understand how things work, but also why things work, the way they work.

All the trainings conducted here, contain in-depth analysis of every attack/detection both from the defense and the offense perspective. You will be spending a lot of time on debuggers, wireshark and C/C++/Assembly to create hypothesis, validate the hypothesis and build your own tools/detections from every artefact found during the analysis.
