State Attorney General Kathleen Kane announced Tuesday she won't object formally to UPMC's acquisition of Altoona Regional Health System, but she will require UPMC to cut a deal with Highmark to allow its subscribers access to the hospital.
"The public, in a sense, paid for the hospitals in the Altoona area through their charitable donations and the tax breaks those facilities received," Kane stated in a news release. "If segments of the public were to be shut out from some hospitals, simply because big companies are in a battle for market share, that would be highly unfair."
UPMC - which doesn't plan to extend its contractual relationship with Highmark after 2014 in the Pittsburgh area - said previously it would seek a special contract extension with Highmark for access to Altoona, because Altoona is a sole community provider.
But officials said that extension had to be reasonable - leaving open the possibility that a deal wouldn't get done.
Kane said that's not an acceptable alternative.
"These parties need to bargain with each other in good faith," she stated in the news release. "If Highmark and UPMC cannot work out a contract for the Altoona Regional Health System, [the AG's office] will consider all options to guarantee the public's access."
In response, UPMC said that it will "continue to fully cooperate" with Kane.
Kane's decision applies exclusively to UPMC Altoona, according to the AG news release.
However, Kane's logic - based not on Altoona's being a sole provider but rather on its being a community hospital - seemingly could apply to other UPMC assets, including those in areas with competing hospitals, like Pittsburgh and Erie.
"Charitable hospitals are community assets paid for by the public through donations, tax exemption subsidy and various government subsidies," Kane stated in the news release. "Therefore all residents should have access to these facilities regardless of their insurance carrier."
Neither the AG's office nor UPMC commented on the potential for the decision to have access implications in the rest of UPMC's territory.
But Highmark was emphatic:
"No health care organization or institution should be allowed to, or have the power to, shut off access for millions of people to facilities that are community assets," stated Highmark spokesman Michael Weinstein in an email Tuesday. "Highmark Health Services stands ready to negotiate a multi-year agreement with UPMC to ensure that everyone has access to all UPMC facilities and physicians, at a reasonable cost, regardless of their insurance carrier."
Weinstein, however, declined to comment specifically on whether he thought the AG's Altoona decision would give Highmark more ammunition for its argument that UPMC shouldn't be able to shut out Highmark in areas where there are alternative hospitals.
Kane's decision pleased Paula Stellabotte, president of the SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania local that represents UPMC Altoona's registered nurses.
"Kane is listening to the concerns of area residents, and intends to hold UPMC accountable to offering affordable access [to UPMC Altoona]," Stellabotte stated in an email.
She also said Kane intends to hold UPMC accountable for providing access for Blair County residents "to all UPMC doctors and hospitals."
It's not clear Kane intended to go that far.
Kane, however, promised to monitor UPMC's stewardship at Altoona, "in order to protect consumers and specifically to guarantee that the public has continued access."
Any Highmark subscriber denied treatment at UPMC Altoona should contact her Health Care Section at 717-705-6938 or healthcare
@attorneygeneral.gov, she stated.
The news release didn't mention traditional anti-trust issues per se.

SALEM - The city's bank account received a one-time boost of $1,352,000 last week from Chesapeake Exploration for an oil and gas lease deal signed earlier this year, but city officials don't plan to spend the money for day-to-day expenses.
"This isn't money that's going into the operating budget," Councilman K. Bret Apple said he wanted to make clear.
Mayor John Berlin told members of city council's Finance Committee about the windfall, noting it represented 390 acres of city-owned property. Auditor Betty Brothers is awaiting direction from city Law Director Brooke Zellers on what they're permitted to do, with plans calling for the money to be placed in the debt service fund used to pay on debts and in capital improvements.
A three-year lease agreement was signed this past summer for $3,500 an acre for non-surface rights, a 20 percent royalty on gross proceeds and a three-year renewal option worth another $3,500.
Berlin said having the money in reserve should help out the city's bond rating. He said the city has experienced growth in the income tax revenue, but the economy could turn again, so it's nice to have some money in reserve.
He also said that some land already under lease to another company is now under lease to Chesapeake because Chesapeake
purchased the lease and the city will get royalties on that for 12.5 percent.
As for a water selling deal, he said he talked to a Chesapeake representative and some testing has been completed on the city's water, but the representative told him "there's no 911 on water."
The water is not in demand right now, but a deal remains pending for the company to purchase water from the city. Berlin said they're still trying to get $7.50 per 1,000 gallons for the price, but it's getting more and more difficult. There's no sense of urgency for the company at this time.
The Finance Committee started the meeting by offering condolences to the family of Olivia Thompson, the 9-year-old girl who was struck by a vehicle Friday night in downtown Salem and died Saturday morning.
"Our hearts go out to the family," Apple said.
With a new police chief slated to take over in February due to Chief Bob Floor's pending retirement, the committee agreed to recommend tweaking the starting salary so after three years the new chief will be making as much as what Floor's making.
At the urging of both the mayor and Auditor Betty Brothers, the committee also agreed to change the starting salary for a new fire chief so when it occurs, they'll already have the change in place.
Currently, the starting salary for the chief of police position is $2,104.06 per two-week pay period, which is the same for the fire chief. Floor is currently making $2,356.39 per two-week pay period, with the amount increasing to $2,427.08 in January. It would have increased to $2,499.89 per two-week pay period after Jan. 1, 2014.
The proposed starting salary per two-week pay period being recommended to council will be $2,251.34. After one year, the amount will be $2,368, then go to $2,418.37 after the second year and $2,495.49 after the third year. Those will be the same amounts for a new fire chief.
In other business, the committee had a brief discussion about next year's budget, which Brothers hopes to have in place before the end of the year. In previous years, council has adopted a temporary budget to cover the first three months of the year, then adopted a final budget in March.
She said her preference was to get it done before the year begins, so that's what they're trying to do.
Brothers said she's projecting revenue for 2013 as $4,414,541 and expenses as $4,808,747, with a carryover of $678,398. She said that's a conservative estimate and said she thinks the amount will likely be a little higher than that.
The Finance Committee will meet again at 4 p.m. Nov. 29 to review the budget more thoroughly.

The Stetson University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is currently hosting a campus-wide penny war to raise money for the American Cancer Society through SAAC's Relay For Life team.
The penny war is set up as a "battle of the sexes" competition as male and female students across the campus try to trump the other team.
There will be two containers located at the Commons and during Stetson Athletics sporting events, one for men and one for women, to donate pennies from March 25 through March 29.
The objective of the penny war is to have the container with the most amount of pennies in it as opposed to any other types of change.
Pennies give positive points towards the team's total, but all other US currency give negative points towards the team's total.
For example, 50 pennies equals 50 points, but if there is a quarter in addition to those 50 pennies the team's total is then dropped to 25 points. The final score is based on the number of additional currency in each team's container that has to be deducted from the amount of pennies it has.
In order for one team to win, they would have to put as many pennies as possible in their container while also adding other currency to the opposing team's container. All currency donated, however, goes to the American Cancer Society.
The winning team/gender gets to pie the losing gender's SAAC representative in the face at the SAAC booth during the Relay for Life Event, April 6th-7th.

CHARLES TOWN - The rezoning of the Jefferson Asphalt property passed with a 3-to-2 vote during Thursday's Jefferson County Commission meeting.
The plant is located on the south side of W.Va. 51 near Tuscawilla Hills. Concerns arose because the property neighbors the Altona-Piedmont Marsh.
The asphalt plant was grandfathered in as an industrial zone. However, the parcel was technically zoned as rural prior to Thursday's vote. The property owners requested the zoning be changed to residential/light industrial/commercial, which serves as a mixed-use category.

Amy Cimarolli, director of science for the Nature Conservancy for the state of West Virginia, tells the Jefferson County Commission the importance of protecting the Altona-Piedmont Marsh.
Commissioner Walt Pellish said Jefferson Asphalt's plan to rezone the property and relocate the plant to another portion of the county was a wise choice, because as it found itself surrounded by a golf course and because houses were being developed, there would be a better use for the land other than an asphalt plant.
"Jefferson Asphalt has been a responsible steward of the land. They have established buffers and lived within those," Pellish said.
Annette van Hilst, of D.A. Stansbury Engineering, said the rural zoning would not allow the owners to do "much of anything" on the site. The wetlands, she said, are protected with a 100-foot easement in accordance with the county regulations.
"Any new use on that property will have to go through the site planning process and meet the wetland regulations," van Hilst said. "I am sure in a number of years, (regulations) will be more stringent than the current requirements are."
The commission also heard from The Nature Conservancy, the group that holds the Altona-Piedmont Marsh easement.
Amy Cimarolli, who is the director of science for The Nature Conservancy for the state and has managed the marsh for nine years, said the soil on the wetlands is special because it occurs on limestone, which leads to a series of rare outcomes.
"You have a special soil, a special wetland, a special set of wetland plants and you get unique wildlife occurring there," Cimarolli said. "Wetlands hold back flood waters, filter pollutants out of surface water and provide services to the community that we don't really think about that much."
Commissioners Dale Manuel and Lyn Widmyer voted against the rezoning, citing conservation concerns.
Widmyer said working with the development authority and discussing other options and uses for the site would be a better solution.
Joseph Hankins, vice president of The Conservation Fund, said the environment that currently exists at the marsh is not standard and although the area is still a functioning wetland, the impacts of the surrounding land use can already be found.
"Whether it's farming or a new driveway or a parking lot, no one activity is going to spell the end of the Altona Marsh; it's a cumulative effect," Hankins said. "It's going to continue to decline the diversity and integrity of the Altona Marsh."

Three people accused of capital murder in drug-related slaying
Authorities have accused a woman and two men of capital murder in a drug-related robbery slaying late last month.
Stacy Jackson, 23; her brother, Larry McDonald, 22, and Darius Combs are each being held on $500,000 bail in connection with the killing of Hector Dominguez, 19,
According to an police documents, Jackson set up a deal for Dominguez to sell drugs to McDonald and Combs in front of a Pizza Patron in the 9700 block of Forest Lane near Audelia Road. Dominguez had previously supplied her drugs, police say.
Surveillance video showed Dominguez talking to the two men inside the restaurant. Authorities say Dominguez provided them a sample and then Dominguez got into their vehicle to complete the deal.
Witnesses told police that Dominguez jumped out of the vehicle and began running. McDonald chased him down and began fighting with him before shooting him several times, police said.
Authorities say Dominguez's killers fled the scene, taking his bag, headset and the drugs. Police received a Crime Stoppers tip that led them to the identity of Jackson and her brother.

"Putt-Putt for Peyton" will be held on Sunday, Aug. 4 from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at Classic Golf Putt-Putt on 1528 Ben Sawyer Blvd. in Mount Pleasant. It will be a donation event in honor and memory of Peyton Moore.
"Putt-Putt for Peyton" will be an evening to celebrate the life of Peyton, an amazing boy, who accomplished so much in nine years.
Peyton was a member of the Mount Pleasant Track Club. He qualified for nationals in the javelin throw, helped his dad coach the "Couch to 5K" running group on Sunday mornings, was a straight A student and loved life.
Come play a round of putt-putt. There will also be corn hole and other games, including hole-in-one prizes and raffles.
Music will be provided by Dave Landeo, and there will also be food and drink specials from Buddy Rose Shrimp Shack.
Peyton's parents, Noah and Jen said that among the many things that Peyton loved, one of them was putt-putt and he always wanted to learn to play golf.
"One of P's favorite things to do was putt-putt," they said in a statement. "He would get me to stop at crazy places while we were on vacation or driving to a run just to play a round."
This event is given by friends, neighbors and Richard Anderson who is kindly providing Classic Golf Putt Putt for the event. Putters are limited – there are approximately 50 – so if you would like, bring your favorite putter and lawn chair to enjoy the evening.

I've seen a lot during a quarter-century of writing about the Bills. After awhile, things have a tendency to repeat themselves (columnists too!). So every year at this time, it's amazing to be reminded of this simple fact:
The Bills have never used their first pick in the NFL Draft on a quarterback.
Jim Kelly, who was reluctant to come to Buffalo, went 14th overall in 1983, two picks after Tony Hunter. They traded up to draft J.P. Losman with the 22nd overall pick in 2004, after grabbing Lee Evans at 13.
Dennis Shaw was a second-round pick, Joe Ferguson a third-rounder. Richie Lucas, a quarterback from Penn State, was the Bills' first-ever AFL draft pick in 1960. But he was a territorial pick, so Lucas comes with an asterisk.
The Bills always had a better idea. They'd over-think and spend their first choice on a defensive back, wide receiver, offensive tackle or running back. Their prolonged run of dysfunction and playoff failure can be directly tied to their inability to identify Kelly's successor.
It has been a combination of luck, circumstance and general incompetence. Most years, they weren't quite bad enough to pick at the very top of the draft. A couple of times, they panicked by trading away a No. 1 pick for a quarterback (Rob Johnson, J.P. Losman) who proved sadly unequal to the task.
The pick they trade for Losman (20th overall) could have been used on Aaron Rodgers in 2005. In '08, they drafted Leodis McKelvin when Joe Flacco was still on the board. Two years ago, they passed on Colin Kaepernick and Andy Dalton in the second round. A year ago, they let Russell Wilson pass by three times.
So after 53 years, I'd say it's about time, wouldn't you?
You can never be sure with this bunch. Buddy Nix might surprise us and use the eighth overall pick on a running back with that rare bonus quality as a kick returner. But something tells me this is it. In tonight's NFL draft, I expect the Bills to use their first selection on a quarterback.
I'm not sure who they like. Something tells me it's Ryan Nassib, who played for Doug Marrone and Nate Hackett at Syracuse. The idea of a Syracuse trinity is almost too good to be true. But Jon Gruden, the guru of quarterback prospects, considers Nassib the best QB in this draft. Gruden's stamp of approval means a lot.
But if they identify someone else as their franchise QB, so be it. It's their job to find the right guy. Just do it. It's not the end of the world if he turns out not to be great. The worst thing is not taking a shot at all.
The draft gurus have been telling us for months that this is a bad quarterback class. These are some of the same geniuses who said Matt Barkley would have been the No. 1 overall pick last year, the experts who felt Wilson lacked the offensive tools to be an NFL starter.
Nix feels the class has been undersold, too. The Bills' general manager said there are at least two or three franchise QBs in this draft. Of course, Nix is the same man who failed to upgrade the position in his first three drafts, so he's not an impeccable source on the subject. But I agree with him.
Draft experts dwell too much on a quarterback's weaknesses, instead of highlighting his assets. Unless it's Cam Newton, Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, they obsess about arm strength or foot speed or pocket presence and decide that some offensive tackle is a better NFL prospect.
Yes, it's hard to project quarterbacks, and many of them are busts. But it's well worth the risk. The payoff for hitting on a quarterback is much greater than any other position. A franchise QB is like a winning $100 million lottery ticket. You don't get that kind of payoff for being right about a guard.
Jim Harbaugh put it well when someone asked him about the harsh evaluations of Barkley, who played against him when Harbaugh was at Stanford: "'Tis the season for ripping apart someone's game," the Niners coach said.
Maybe this isn't the best QB class. It probably doesn't have a Cam Newton, Luck or Griffin. But you can't tell me several of them aren't worthy of going in the first round in a league where the QB position is more vital than ever.
Really, are Barkley, Nassib, E.J. Manuel and Tyler Wilson so clearly inferior to quarterbacks who went in the first round in recent drafts? Who saw the run on QBs coming two years ago, when Jake Locker (8), Blaine Gabbert (10) and Christian Ponder (12) went flying off the board?
I suspect there are some surprises in store. Some of the more circumspect general managers aren't tipping their hands. By late tonight, we'll realize that this wasn't as weak a quarterback class as we'd been led to believe.
The Bills seem to have their eye on a quarterback or two. Maybe they'll shock us and go for one of the lesser-regarded names, someone who is likely to be there at 41st overall. But if they're expecting Barkley or Nassib to fall to them at 41, they're taking a huge gamble.
Taking another position with the eighth overall pick and moving up from the 41st slot to take the quarterback could be a bigger risk. They gave up a first for Losman and lived to regret it. The Bills could be bad enough to pick in the top 10 again next year. They'd be fools to trade that pick away now.
This assumes that the Bills' guy is there at No. 8 overall. If teams are sleeping on quarterbacks, things could get interesting near the top of the draft. Maybe Geno Smith has more suitors than people imagined, scrambling the board. The Jets pick ninth. What if they decide to move past the Bills to take a quarterback?
In an ideal world, the Bills would trade back in the draft, confident that their quarterback will be there in the latter part of the first round. They could get their franchise QB and collect an extra pick or two in the process, like a personnel department that actually knows what it's doing.
Trading back comes with risks, too. The main objective is to get your quarterback. No one will expect him to be a star overnight. The Dolphins drafted Ryan Tannehill eighth overall last year and he's a work in progress. But at least Miami has their franchise guy in place.
The time comes when you have to go for it. The only guaranteed failure, as the Bills have discovered, is not taking a shot. And if they're not sold after one year, they can always take another quarterback with their first pick next year.
Continue to follow our intensive NFL draft coverage tonight, beginning with a live video show co-hosted by Tim Graham and Jay Skurski at 7:30 on BuffaloNews.com. We will have reports from Mark Gaughan and Jerry Sullivan at One Bills Drive, as well as an ongoing live chat.

LISBON - Charles Crank, the Salem man convicted of providing the disguise and serving as the lookout during an armed robbery at Circle K in June, was sentenced Friday to five years in prison.
Despite prior objections from assistant county prosecutor John Gamble, judge Scott Washam allowed Crank to remain in the county for the next 21 days so his mother can visit him before he is sent to prison. The cost of housing him while he remains in the county jail will rest with the county.
Crank's attorney Charley Kidder had requested a three-year term and had asked for additional time here so Crank's mother, who is reportedly hospitalized, can visit him. Crank, 54, East State Street, Salem, told Washam his father recently died while he was incarcerated, and his mother needs him to help her get through this difficult time.
Gamble pointed out Crank should have thought about these things before he assisted Justin Zimmerly in committing armed robbery. Zimmerly pleaded guilty in November to aggravated robbery in connection to the crime. He is scheduled to be sentenced in January.
"I had no idea of the magnitude of it," Crank said of the first-degree felony charge of complicity to aggravated robbery he pleaded to on Nov. 26. "If I would have known, in the future, I would steer clear of anything like this."
Crank said all he did was walk into the Circle K to make certain no one was inside but the clerk before the robbery occurred. Kidder said at no point did his client have the weapon which was used, a knife.
According to police reports at the time, Zimmerly entered the store at 11:28 p.m. and approached the male cashier while wearing a toboggan hat with eye holes pulled over his face. He did not go behind the counter, but demanded money from the cash register and fled east on foot after taking $128. It was reported at the time of Zimmerly's arrest that police believed video surveillance showed he did not act alone.
Crank will serve the five years consecutively to the 12 months he is currently serving for failure to comply with a law enforcement official. He was sentenced in September after pleading guilty to that charge in February.
Court documents state in that case, he attempted to elude state Trooper Michael Smith in March 2011 by driving the wrong way on state Route 11 until stop sticks were deployed in his path. Crank was charged with OVI during the same incident, a charge he pleaded to in Columbiana County Municipal Court in January of this year.
Gamble pointed out Crank has an extensive criminal record. In county municipal court, Crank has a list of convictions including several counts of receiving stolen property, a possession of drugs charge and theft.

SEC560: Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking
- Contents | Schedule | Additional Info
- Instructor: Ed Skoudis
SEC560 helped to take the stew of ideas and techniques in my head and organize them in a 'professionally' usable way.
Richard Tafoya, Redflex Traffic Systems
This will help me determine how safe my work environment is. SEC560 is very fun, I do not feel burnt out at the end of the day.
David Neilson, Western Family Foods
As a cyber security professional, you have a unique responsibility to find and understand your organization's vulnerabilities and to work diligently to mitigate them before the bad guys pounce. Are you ready? SANS SEC560, our flagship course for penetration testing, fully arms you to address this duty head-on.
With comprehensive coverage of tools, techniques, and methodologies for network, web app, and wireless testing, SEC560 truly prepares you to conduct high-value penetration testing projects end-to-end, step-by-step. Every organization needs skilled infosec personnel who can find vulnerabilities and mitigate their impacts, and this whole course is specially designed to get you ready for that role. The course starts with proper planning, scoping and recon, and then dives deep into scanning, target exploitation, password attacks, and wireless and web apps with over 30 detailed hands-on labs throughout. The course is chock full of practical, real-world tips from some of the world's best penetration testers to help you do your job masterfully, safely, and efficiently.
The whole course is designed to get you ready to conduct a full-scale, high-value penetration test, and on the last day of the course, you will do just that. After building your skills in awesome labs over five days, the course culminates with a final full-day, real-world penetration test scenario. You will conduct an end-to-end pen test, applying knowledge, tools, and principles from throughout the course as you discover and exploit vulnerabilities in a realistic sample target organization, demonstrating the knowledge you have mastered in this course.
You will learn how to perform detailed reconnaissance, learning about a target's infrastructure by mining blogs, search engines, social networking sites, and other Internet and intranet infrastructures. You will be equipped to scan target networks using best-of-breed tools from experience in our hands-on labs. We won't just cover run-of-the-mill options and configurations, but instead, we'll also go over less-well-known-but-super-useful capabilities of the best pen test toolsets available today. After scanning, you'll learn dozens of methods for exploiting target systems to gain access and measure real business risk. You will dive deep into post exploitation, password attacks, wireless, and web apps, pivoting through the target environment to model the attacks of real-world bad guys to emphasize the importance of defense in depth. The final portion of the class includes a comprehensive hands-on lab, conducting a full-day penetration test against a target organization.
|Course Contents
|SEC560.1: Comprehensive Pen Test Planning, Scoping, and Recon
|Ed Skoudis
Mon Aug 18th, 2014
In this section of the course, you will develop the skills needed to prepare to conduct a best-of-breed, high-value penetration test. We will go in-depth on how to build a penetration testing infrastructure that includes all the hardware, software, network infrastructure, and tools you will need for conducting great penetration tests, with specific low-cost recommendations for your arsenal. We'll then cover formulating a pen test scope and rules of engagement that will set you up for success, with a role-playing exercise where you will build an effective scope and rules of engagement. We also dig deep into the reconnaissance portion of a penetration test, covering the latest tools and techniques, including hands-on document metadata analysis to pull sensitive information about a target environment.

|SEC560.2: In-Depth Scanning
|Ed Skoudis
Tue Aug 19th, 2014
We next focus on the vital task of mapping the attack surface by creating a comprehensive inventory of machines, accounts, and potential vulnerabilities. We'll look at some of the most useful scanning tools freely available today and run them in numerous hands-on labs to help hammer home the most effective way to use each tool. We'll also conduct a deep dive into some of the most useful tools available to pen testers today for formulating packets: Scapy and Netcat. We finish the day covering vital techniques for false-positive reduction so you can focus your findings on meaningful results and avoid the sting of a false positive, as well as how to conduct your scans safely and efficiently.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC560.3: Exploitation and Post Exploitation
|Ed Skoudis
Wed Aug 20th, 2014
In this section, we look at the many kinds of exploits that penetration testers use to compromise target machines, including client-side exploits, service-side exploits, and local privilege escalation. We'll see how these exploits are packaged in frameworks like Metasploit and its mighty Meterpreter. You'll learn in-depth how to leverage Metasploit and the Meterpreter to compromise target environments, search them for information to advance the penetration test, and pivot to other systems, all with a focus on determining the true business risk of the target organization. We'll also look at post-exploitation analysis of machines and pivoting to find new targets, finishing the section with a lively discussion of how to leverage the Windows shell to dominate target environments.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC560.4: Password Attacks & Merciless Pivoting
|Ed Skoudis
Thu Aug 21st, 2014
This component of the course turns our attention to password attacks, analyzing password guessing, password cracking, and pass-the-hash techniques in depth. We will go over numerous tips based on real-world experience to help penetration testers and ethical hackers maximize the effectiveness of their password attacks. You will patch and custom-compile John the Ripper to optimize its performance in cracking passwords. You will look at the amazingly full-featured Cain tool, running it to crack sniffed Windows authentication messages. You will also perform multiple types of pivots to move laterally through our target lab environment, and pluck hashes and cleartext passwords from memory using the Mimikatz tool. We will see how Rainbow Tables really work to make password cracking much more efficient, all hands-on. And, we will finish the day with an exciting discussion of powerful "pass-the-hash" attacks, leveraging Metasploit, the Meterpreter, and SAMBA client software.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC560.5: Wireless and Web Apps Penetration Testing
|Ed Skoudis
Fri Aug 22nd, 2014
This in-depth section of the course is focused on helping you become a well-rounded penetration tester. Augmenting your network penetration testing abilities, we turn our attention to methods for finding and exploiting wireless weaknesses, including identifying misconfigured access points, cracking weak wireless protocols, and the exploiting wireless clients. We then turn our attention to web application pen testing, with detailed hands-on exercises that involve finding and exploiting cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (XSRF), command injection, and SQL injection flaws in applications such as online banking, blog sites, and more.
CPE/CMU Credits: 6
|SEC560.6: Penetration Testing Workshop and Capture the Flag Event
|Ed Skoudis
Sat Aug 23rd, 2014
This lively session represents the culmination of the network penetration testing and ethical hacking course, where you'll apply all of the skills mastered in the course so far in a full-day, hands-on workshop. In this final workshop, you'll conduct an actual penetration test of a sample target environment. We'll provide the scope and rules of engagement, and you'll work with a team to achieve your goal of finding out whether the target organization's Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is at risk. And, as a final step in preparing you for conducting penetration tests, you'll make recommendations about remediating the risks you identify.

"Ed Skoudis is the best teacher I've ever had. He is 100% competent and professional."
-Petra Klein, FRA
|Laptop Required
To get the most value out of the course, students are required to bring their own laptop so that they can connect directly to the workshop network that we will create. It is the students' responsibility to make sure that the system is properly configured with all drivers necessary to connect to an Ethernet network.
Some of the course exercises are based on Windows, while others focus on Linux. VMware Player or VMware Workstation is required for the class. If you plan to use a Macintosh, please make sure you bring VMware Fusion, along with a Windows guest virtual machine.
You are required to bring Windows 7 (Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate), Windows Vista (Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate), Windows XP Pro, or Windows 2003 or 2008 Server, either a real system or a virtual machine. Windows 8 Pro is an acceptable option. Windows 7 Home, Windows Vista Home, Windows XP Home, and Windows 2000 (all versions) will NOT work for the class as they do not include all of the built-in capabilities we need for comprehensive analysis of the system.
The course includes a VMware image file of a guest Linux system that is larger than 2 GB. Therefore, you need a file system with the ability to read and write files that are larger than 2 GB, such as NTFS on a Windows machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE:You will also be required to disable your anti-virus tools temporarily for some exercises, so make sure you have the anti-virus administrator permissions to do so. DO NOT plan on just killing your anti-virus service or processes because most anti-virus tools still function even when their associated services and processes have been terminated. For many enterprise-managed clients, disabling your anti-virus tool may require a different password than the Administrator account password. Please bring that administrator password for your anti-virus tool.
Enterprise VPN clients may interfere with the network configuration required to participate in the class. If your system has an enterprise VPN client installed, you may need to uninstall it for the exercises in class.
You will use VMware to run Windows and Linux operating systems simultaneously when performing exercises in class. You must have either the free VMware Player 3 or later or the commercial VMware Workstation 6 or later installed on your system prior to coming to class. You can download VMware Player for free here.
Alternatively, if you want a more flexible and configurable tool, you can download a free 30-day trial copy of VMware Workstation here. VMware will send you a time- limited license number for VMware Workstation if you register for the trial at their Web site. No license number is required for VMware Player.
We will give you a DVD full of attack tools to experiment with during the class and take home for later analysis. We will also provide a Linux image with all of our tools pre-installed that runs within VMware Player or VMware Workstation.
You do not need to bring a Linux system if you plan to use our Linux image in VMware. However, you are required to bring VMware Workstation or VMware Player. The class does not support VirtualPC or other non-VMware virtualization products.
Mandatory Laptop Hardware Requirements
During the workshop, you will be connecting to one of the most hostile networks on planet Earth! Your laptop might be attacked. Do not have any sensitive data stored on the system. SANS is not responsible for your system if someone in the class attacks it in the workshop.
By bringing the right equipment and preparing in advance, you can maximize what you'll see and learn as well as have a lot of fun.
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
SANS Security 560 is one of the most technically rigorous courses offered by the SANS Institute. Attendees are expected to have a working knowledge of TCP/IP, cryptographic routines such as DES, AES, and MD5, and the Windows and Linux command lines before they step into class. Although SANS Security 401: Security Essentials and then next SANS Security 504: Hacker Techniques, Exploits, and Incident Handling are not pre-requisites for 560, these courses cover the groundwork that all 560 attendees are expected to know. While 560 is technically in-depth, it is important to note that programming knowledge is NOT required for the course. For more information on the differences between SEC560 and SEC504 see the SEC560 and SEC504 FAQS.

The Barn Raiser: A Tradition of Community
What's in a name? The newest member of the Tumbleweed family, the Amish Barn Raiser, draws on hundreds of years of craftsmanship and community. It's in the long tradition of our Tumbleweed builders, Dave, Ben and Alan, all raised in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Interestingly, it's an unfinished house which has been expertly raised and sheathed for you.
Amish Barn Raisers are installing roofing, back in 1965.
Why call it the Barn Raiser?
The iconic image of a "barn raising" is synonymous with Amish life in America. The tradition is born of community needs and a strong belief in the importance of helping one another. With planning and hard work, there are jobs that can be done by one person. Then there are jobs that, no matter how well you plan or how hard you are willing to work, require a community. Raising the walls of a barn is that kind of job.Read More

The developers of a 112-unit senior citizen housing complex in Lancaster are seeking tax breaks from the Lancaster Industrial Development Agency for the $12 million project – and the town IDA wants to act soon, since state lawmakers are considering changes in how such approvals are made.
Regent Cos., which plans to build market-rate apartments on 9 acres at 4845 Transit Road, is seeking breaks on the sales and mortgage-recording taxes. The IDA board is likely to take up the request at its meeting next month.
Lancaster Supervisor Dino J. Fudoli, who also serves as Lancaster IDA chairman, said he hopes to schedule the public hearing and vote on the project for the IDA's March 12 meeting because of a provision in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's proposed budget that would require state approval before local IDAs can grant sales tax breaks for projects.
Though the provision's prospects are uncertain, Fudoli described the proposed change as onerous and said he wants to bring the Regent project up for a vote before the state budget is approved.
"This would affect economic development in just about every county, every town and country, across the state," Fudoli said at Tuesday's IDA board meeting in Town Hall.
Some critics also have taken issue with the practice of area IDAs granting subsidies for senior citizen housing, but Fudoli said he supports the project because of the parks and recreation fees and the property taxes – particularly to the school district – the developer will pay.
The project is the third phase of Regent's Park Lane Apartments. The two previous phases have about 20 buildings and 250 total units.
For the latest phase, Regent wants to construct seven two-story buildings, with 16 units per building, on Transit south of Michael Anthony Lane, along with nine garages, a clubhouse and a pool, according to IDA and town Building Department records.
Total residential space is 105,000 square feet, and the apartments would serve residents 55 and older who want to live independently.
IDA staff members have not yet calculated the value of the requested sales and mortgage-recording tax incentives.
The IDA will not provide a property tax break for the project, and Fudoli said Town Board members turned down Regent's request for a waiver of the town's parks and recreation fee, which in this case would amount to about $140,000.
Regent's David A. Huck was unavailable to comment, and no one else from the company returned a phone message Tuesday afternoon.
The Erie County IDA and the Hamburg IDA are among the agencies that have granted tax breaks for senior citizen housing in recent years. And the Lancaster IDA in 2008 approved a 10-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, or PILOT, for a $9.6 million, 209-unit senior citizen housing complex built by Clover Construction Management at Pavement Road and Broadway.
Andrew J. Rudnick, president and CEO of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership and chairman of the Erie County IDA's policy committee, has called for a countywide or regionwide study to examine the need and demand for senior citizen housing.
Lancaster IDA consultant Paul R. Leone said Tuesday that IDA regulations allow for subsidies for senior citizen housing and that the Lancaster IDA did require Regent to perform a market study to demonstrate that the project would fill a need for senior citizen housing in the town.
Leone and Fudoli pointed to the parks and recreation fee that Regent would pay, money that goes into a fund used by the town to cover the cost of maintaining town parks – a cost that otherwise would be passed on to town taxpayers.
The owner of the senior citizen complex would pay school property taxes, Fudoli said, but the district presumably wouldn't have the expense of educating any children living there.
"The project would benefit – immensely benefit – the Lancaster School District," Fudoli said.

XX In Health: Where Are The Women Decision-Makers And Leaders?
"We're providing a disservice to the economy by not catalyzing and supporting the economy of women that are out there." – Lesa Michell, Kauffman Foundation
By Blake Landau (Blogger, Artemis)
There are 150 million women in the United States, roughly 55% of the population. Considering that there are more women in the U.S. than men, it is curious that the individuals largely making the decisions about women's bodies are not women.
Women compose a tiny slice of the top in healthcare. Women account for only 4% of healthcare organization CEOs and 18% of hospital CEOs. However women also account for 73% of medical and health services managers.
So where is the female executive influence in healthcare? Where are the female innovators and entrepreneurs in healthcare?

IDC: Apple iPhone outsold in Italy by Nokia
0. phoneArena 25 Aug 2013, 01:21 posted on
According to research firm IDC, Nokia has been doing quite well in the U.K. and in Italy; in the latter country, a 17% increase in year over year smartphone sales for Nokia has allowed the Finnish based OEM to grab the second highest smartphone market share in the country for Q2. That puts Nokia behind only Samsung, but ahead of Apple...

It's great that Nokia outsold the iPhone in Italy, but if you actually read the article, it really isn't in other parts of the world. Their sales in Europe were down 11% from last year even though smart phones saw an increase of 19% year over year. While Nokia is rising in Italy, their falling throughout Europe...
10. Nokfan1603 (Posts: 26; Member since: 13 Mar 2013)
Last year's numbers include Symbian. Nokia Lumia is growing fast. In Europe people start to get bored with the iphone.
35. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
This means that even Symbian owners are not choosing to go with Nokia Lumia.
39. fronzy (Posts: 5; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
That's because Symbian owners are still using their Symbian phones with excellent build quality and are planning to buy a new Nokia Lumia!!!
45. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
You're missing the whole point. Nokia Lumia has lost 11% from same time last year in Europe when smartphone market went up by 19%. This means people including ex-Nokia owners are not buying MS based Nokia phones. It's NOT growing in Western Europe at all, instead it's failing.

WP8 is the fastest growing OS in the world, out pacing both iOS and Android. The sales of Nokia Lumia WP8 devices have continued to grow around 25% to 30% each quarter, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what this means. Those persons who post on PA and claim WP8 is failing to make gains are basically telling lies...
I expect for Nokia to ship about 9.5 to 10.5 million Lumia devices for Q3, and then about 11-12 million for Q4. The company should return to profitability in early 2014, or possibly sooner, depending on the performance of NSN. WP should account for about 15% to 20% percent of the global smartphone market by 2016, with the majority of WP sales being made by Nokia...
Not bad at all. Go, Nokia Go!!!
75. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Those people who claim WP will have market share over 5% are spreading lies. WP7 came out about three years ago correct? Why does it have 3.7% market share? WP is losing tremendously to Android and iOS and that's not going to change.
P.S. It's evident you didn't read the article.
86. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
PapaSmurf, in case you failed to notice, Nokia produces smartphones that run on WP8 OS, which is completely different from WP7 (Windows Phone CE). The only liar here is you, and the stats that I have quoted are legit.
Nokia sold over 7 million Lumia devices last quarter, and will probably do about 9.5 to 10 million for Q3, and then 12-14 million for Q4 of 2013. You can rant all you want about past failures for Windows CE, but that was before Nokia had adopted WP OS as it's primary platform.
Face the truth buddy; Microsoft and Nokia cannot be shut out, and WP8.x will continue to gain traction.
88. sgodsell (Posts: 3640; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
When you look at their stats over the last 3 quarters since WP8 was introduced. The sales included both WP7 and 8. And anyone getting WP7 not knowing that they will not be able to upgrade to WP8.
89. sgodsell (Posts: 3640; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
If you look at their actual smartphone sales for italy in Q4 2012 and Q1 2013. Their top selling WP were WP7 units and not WP8. Just a matter of time when those who purchased WP7 can't be upgraded to WP8. Then we will see how many will stay with WP. Give it time.

Apple started too slip in every country. Good news plus the Italian have good taste In phones.

If nokia hadn't choose wp, then MS would had been doomed...
7. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Um, the main reason why they didn't op for a different OS (Android) was because Samsung literally dominates in terms of market share, profits, and handsets sold every quarter since late 2010. iOS is limited to only Apple (of course) so that's a no-go. If it wasn't for Nokia, WP wouldn't have made it this far. And besides, Nokia is getting paid heavily by Microsoft for choosing WP.
15. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
So in both ways Nokia and MS would've been doomed
30. papss (unregistered)
So what you both are saying is that it was a great business move for both? How dare they! M$ should have let apple die a long time ago too.. If it weren't for m$ money they would have died many years ago.
36. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Samsung was not "dominating" as you put it, at that point quite yet. I'm not saying it would have been the best move for them, but Nokia still had a good chance to do well in the Android market then because no OEM had such a commmanding lead yet.
47. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
That was the past.. Now, we're looking ahead to the future, and WP is moving forward, and is proving to be the third alternative.. Soon, WP will be setting it's sights on being the second alternative, and this is not wishful thinking... With WP market share only 10% less than iOS's you guys better forget about why Nokia didn't decide to go with Android.. Nokia is looking for a long term solution to getting back on top, and WP is exactly that... It's not all about just profiting right away.. Nokia would rather spend years differentiating itself, and WP is the best way to do that... While Nokia builds is new name in the smartphone industry the WP OS just keeps getting better, and better, and is already at a point where its more than enough smartphone for the average user... This combination is a killer plan, and if everyone would be patient y'all will slowly see the landscape change... At this point it's imminent, so it's time to accept that WP/Nokia are here to stay just as that...
60. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
And there's still no reason they can't do both WP and Android. Well, maybe one, MS signed an agreement with Nokia for them to only produce WP phones for a certain time period. Explains a lot why they dumped Symbian and Meego.
I see the day when they'll be financially secure and will be building Android handsets, it's just going to take a few more years.
79. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Forget it❕.. It's not happening❕.. Nokia believes in WP, and believes that Android is not good enough.. Android is not good enough for Nokia... Get over it❕

And i belioeve you dont know what youre talking about. Nokia hasnt gone to android because ms has been paying nokia to be ms exclusive in billions

It's only a matter of time before Nokia absolutely destroy Samsung in the UK. In terms of value for money, the Lumia 620 & 520 are so far ahead of the android competion (in the low end sector), that it's no longer funny.

err... no we dont want a destroyed OEM :\
then it will be static one OEM show with nothing new for decades
atlest now everyone is doing hard to get their device compete with others both on price/design/OS .. etc
48. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
This is extremely possible.. These haters don't want to look at the reality of the situation, and one day they are going to realize that Millions of WP fans were right when we said that our platform is great, and that it has the potential to start to surpass others... Nothing is worse than some of these close minded thinking iDroid fans on here... Times change people.. Open your eyes❕
61. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Only if Samsung's design 3.0 phase is a disaster. Samsung has the production capability to pour out a massive amount of phones, I don't see them going anywhere soon.
The reality is Samsung and Nokia will both be strong players in the next decade to come.
65. sgodsell (Posts: 3640; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
What are you on. WP is a 3 year old platform now. Even with WP8 which is over 10 months old now. Only sold 19 million WP's and that includes both WP7/8 units. That same time period android almost sold 500 million phones. If you break it down out of that 19 million, only 1.6 million lumias sold for all of North America within that time period. Also the lumia 52X has 512mb, no front facing camera, no NFC, or camera flash. I think it was a ploy to sell more units, and get the numbers up. Also there is cheap dual and quad core android phones with 1gb of ram coming out for roughly the same money.
69. SingDaFire (Posts: 74; Member since: 21 Jun 2013)
The answer to that is - look at how many android OEMs were there when it was 3 years old And look at WP it just had 3 OEMs which Nokia was doing the 90% work to promote and sell the devices. So what you're saying doesn't make sense.
And 52*s had 512mb ram however it performed much better than those androids with 1gb or 2gb rams. Hope this made you understood ;)
84. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
it doesnt really matter how many oems you have, apple is one company selling one os and its pretty much out selling everyone..before anyone calls me an apple fanboy or something please read my other comments and you will see i am no fan of any company, i just pick the device that suits my needs which has currently been the s series as it gives me everything from good camera,removable storage,good battery to a customisable os like android. i use to be a huge nokia fan, pretty much had mostly nokia symbian phone before 2010 but symbian got quite slow by then so gave ios a go with the iphone 4, enjoyed it for a bit but started to miss things like sd cards,bluetooth file sharing, mass storage mode from my symbian days, saw android grow but never thought it was usable until the galaxy s2 came out and i never left android since then, it gave me the customisability of symbian i liked and much more and was hell of alot faster. i have no issues with wp but it just isnt for me, am no power user but i just like customisability and dont like being restricted with what i can do. imo wp is very similar to ios but obviously with a different ui but they a both similar in what can and cannot be done and with those 2 os theres always limitation where as on android there really isnt. ive never had a wp but have played round with it in stores plenty of times andf its very smooth indeed but its just never made me want it and ive personally think the os is just very bland looking. i hope it does well because do we really want to just have 2 os thriving, the more competition we have the more progress we will see. atm nokia seems to be doing well in the low end but they need to start doing just aswell on the high end as thats where the profit margins are high, on the low end theres barley any. we will know come next year how wp is fairing but those who think that wp will have like 20% in 2015 imo are being unrealistic.

It can also be said if Samsung didn't sell Android then Google would be doomed. Nokia is a trusted partner where Google fears Samsung will redefine Android and push Google out of the picture. Just like Amazon removed anything Google and is just offering Android with a wrapper around it. No revenue for Google.
Nokia is the star and nothing wrong to say Nokia is integral to the ecosystem. It doesn't mean the windows phone is not a great OS. Nokia and Microsoft are a winning combination. Samsung and Google spells trouble down the road.
23. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Another jealous user talking nonsense.
Really... Wining combination? O wow with 3.7 market share in 2 years! Wp7 was fragmentation! It is not a great OS! 80% Nokia users have migrated to Android aka Symbian open source, not prison source like wanabe iOS. Only hardcore users are pushing NokiaWp8 along with third world countries who are destitute and buy cheap, budget s©rap devices.

Android is too slow and insecure to continue ruling the smartphone world. It's an outdated and compromised OS that is an ideal choice for hackers because it lacks proper security protocols, and was built with back-door master keys that essentially allow for eavesdropping by government, or other groups. It's main selling feature is that it's cheap, because Google doesn't charge licensing fees, but then you get what you pay for. Due to lack of security, Android devices are completely unsuitable for the business world, which is where WP will make much of it's gains...

Hey Einstein, your government can eavesdrop any phone that anyone uses. It's not just limited to Android, it's all OS's.
Android is too slow... Are you trying to troll? 1,000,000+ activations a day is slow lol okay.
66. sgodsell (Posts: 3640; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
Granted Samsung is the biggest smartphone player in the market. Also did you know that Samsung sells 40% of all android smart phones. So the other 60% of android phones would mean nothing in your books. BTW to put it into perspective that means 106 million android phones from all other vendors excluding Samsung, and that was the last quarter alone. So what's that about android being doomed? More like WP is more in that position.

It's the penultimate week of the BCS standings tonight!
Good evening everybody, Rich Thomaselli, deputy college football editor for Bleacher Report, happy to join you yet again on a Sunday night for the latest live coverage and analysis of the BCS standings announcement on ESPN.
There is still much football to be played that could still rock the boat—Oregon at Oregon State, title games in the SEC and Big 12—but for now, the top two teams are likely to stay the same tonight.
Oregon and Auburn.
Ah, but there are still questions. Will Auburn's road win against Alabama have enough juice to push the Tigers from No. 2 to No. 1 in the BCS standings, or will Oregon's big win at home against Arizona keep the Ducks on top?
With Boise State and LSU losing, will Stanford move into the No. 4 spot—meaning the Cardinal HAS to be chosen for a BCS bowl?
Will Ohio State move past Wisconsin and win the Big Ten? It's a three-way tie right now between the Buckeyes, Wisky and Michigan State, but the team with the highest BCS ranking in next week's final poll will win the Big Ten and earn a Rose Bowl spot.
We'll get the answers to those questions momentarily, so stay tuned!

Product Details
The ADIS16228 iSensor® is a complete vibration sensing system that combines triaxial acceleration sensing with advanced time domain and frequency domain signal processing. Time domain signal processing includes a programmable decimation filter and selectable windowing function. Frequency domain processing includes a 512-point, real-valued FFT for each axis, along with FFT averaging, which reduces the noise floor variation for finer resolution. The 14-record FFT storage system offers users the ability to track changes over time and to capture FFTs with multiple decimation filter settings.
The 20.48 kSPS sample rate and 5 kHz flat frequency band provide a frequency response that is suitable for many machine health applications. The aluminum core provides excellent mechanical coupling to the MEMS acceleration sensors. An internal clock drives the data sampling and signal processing system during all operations, which eliminates the need for an external clock source. The data capture function has three modes that offer several options to meet the needs of many different applications. In addition, real-time mode provides direct access to streaming data on one axis. The SPI and data buffer structure provide convenient access to data output. The ADIS16228 also offers a digital temperature sensor and digital power supply measurements.
The ADIS16228 is available in a 15 mm × 24 mm × 15 mm module with flanges, machine screw holes (M2 or 2-56), and a flexible connector that enables simple user interface and installation. It has an extended operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

Product Lifecycle
This product has been released to the market. The data sheet contains all final specifications and operating conditions. For new designs, ADI recommends utilization of these products.
Product Details
The ADIS16228/PCBZ is a "breakout board," which provides (1) ADIS16228CMLZ and (1) interface PCB to simplify the process of "prototyping" during the early stages of system design and evaluation. The ADIS16228CMLZ is a fully-integrated, vibration measurement/analysis system, which provides a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for all digital communications. It provides a flexible connector interface, with a 15-pin, edge-terminated connection, which minimizes board space, but does not support standard ribbon cable connections. The interface PCB provides access to the ADIS16228CMLZ, using a dual-row, 16-pin connector, which supports standard ribbon cable systems and hand-soldering connection techniques. The interface PCB also provides two sets of mounting holes: one set of holes for attaching the ADIS16228CMLZ to the interface PCB and another set of holes for mounting the interface board to the system's frame. The first set of holes line up with the ADIS16228CMLZ's mounting holes and are pre-tapped for use with M2x0.4mm machine screws. The second set of holes are support M2 machine screws and line up with M2x0.4mm, pre-tapped holes on the ADISUSB evaluation system board.

Your Take: What Is Your Dream Job?
|Email Print
With the economy pretty much sucking, despite "green shoots", I thought it would be fun to completely ignore it and turn towards the fanciful.
I want to know – what is your dream job? If nothing were off the table, what would you, beyond all other things, like to be doing? Is it finding a cure for a currently incurable disease? Is it playing in a professional sports league like the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NBPL?
My dream job would be as an astronaut. I would love to have the opportunity to go into space and do something very few people can do today, but millions upon millions will likely be able to do within the next hundred years. It's the final frontier after all!
What is your dream job?
