Hack the Whale is a hands-on, tutorial oriented hacking event aimed at allowing network security students and passionates to familiarize with state-of-the art penetration testing techniques.
The idea is to leverage latest fashion virtualization techniques in order to:
<UL>
<LI>reproduce real-world networking scenarios;</LI>
<LI>build ad-hoc, customized networking playgrounds involving both vulnerable nodes/services and malicious users/tools;</LI>
<LI>provide lab participants with low-cost, COTS-based, easily reproducible networking tools:</LI>
<UL>
<LI>Real guns...but loaded with blanks!</LI>
</UL>
</UL>
The event is split in two sessions. This is the former session and is aimed at allowing all of the participants to get a flavour of the main concepts behind the so-called container-based vrtualization approach.
We will touch upon topics like Docker, the leading container platform nowadays. We will show how to build and deploy a container, that is to say a "lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of a piece of software that includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings." We will delve into container-based networking through tools like docker-compose. We will briefly introduce advanced topics like automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications via systems like Kubernetes. Finally, we will start investigating how to build a container-based system which closely reproduces a real-world networking environment hosting vulnerable services that might be exploited by malicious users.
"Hack The Whale" will be held at the Apple Developer Academy in Napoli, as part of the Academy "Master Class" activities. It is both a lab and a cross-fertilization experiment. The idea of the lab, which will be shaped as an educational Capture The Flag (CTF) event, perfectly matches the metaphor of the challenge representing the core of the Academy activities. Cross fertilization, on the other hand, derives from the fact that we are inviting to the Academy, for the very first time, both Federico II students who are attending the Network Security class at the University of Napoli Federico II and security enthusiasts who sympathize with the well-known NaLUG (Napoli GNU/Linux Users Group) community. 
"Hack The Whale" will be structured as a collaborative lab. Participants will be organized in groups and will be invited to carry out practical activities driving them towards the final objective in a stepwise fashion. All activities will be led and mentored by Marco Ferrigno and Gabriele Previtera. Marco is a renowned security professional and evangelist. Gabriele is a young Computer Engineering student with a passion for security and a flair for practical work.
