Subject: AIRRAID2 Wireless Hacking Tournament - Dec 2007,
	Bangkok Thailand

ThinkSECURE (securitystartshere.org) will be running AIRRAID2 in 
Bangkok Thailand at the CentralWorld Shopping Complex (the ex-World 
Trade Center) on 21 December 2007.  

If you would like to register and participate in the event, read on:


=== What is AIRRAID2? ===

AIRRAID2 (http://airraid2.securitystartshere.org) is a cutting-edge 
wireless and wired hacking tournament.  It challenges participants 
with WiFi and Bluetooth wireless hacking against an enterprise 
infrastructure which is specially designed to mirror a typical 
corporate wireless and wired network deployment.

AIRRAID2 is the successor to the original AIRRAID tournament, Asia's 
first-ever true (i.e. not mere wardriving!) wireless hacking 
tournament, which was held in Singapore's Suntec Convention Center in 
August 2005. Photo archives of the original AIRRAID are available at 
http://airraid.securitystartshere.org. 
ThinkSECURE now brings this unique brand of wireless hacking 
excitement and flavor to the Land of a Thousand Smiles!




=== Who is it intended for? ===

"AIRRAID2 continues our tradition of giving back to the Asian IT-
security community by providing them an entertaining and fun way of 
testing their skills against each other and against a realistic 
enterprise-class wireless-and-wired infrastructure setup.  As many 
security professionals rarely get a chance to do some real, full-
bore, hands-on hacking, our purpose-built tournament infrastructure 
mirrors an extensive corporate wireless/wired network which allows 
them to fully and legitimately employ all their skills to meet the in-
game challenges we've put in place," said Mr. Julian Ho, 
ThinkSECURE's co-founder.




=== Why is there a need for it? ===

Many reports cover wireless security incidents and issues after-the-
fact or re-hash old generic warnings and stories.  AIRRAID2 cuts 
through this fluff by:

- showing in real life the capabilities that modern hackers and 
security professionals possess;

- revealing "as-it-happens" how they utilize those abilities to 
compromise a representative and realistic enterprise-class 
environment;

- showcasing the abilities of today's hackers and their security 
professional counterparts in a real world setting;

- highlighting the importance of applying security to wireless 
networks in a holistic manner and not relying on vendors' technology 
alone;

- illustrating the benefits to IT professionals of attending 
practical technical certifications such as the Organizational Systems 
Wireless Auditor and Organizational Systems Security Analyst to 
develop and upgrade their wireless and enterprise security skills;

- making organizations realize that partners' and vendor 
support/maintenance networks can also be a weak link in the security 
posture of an organization.




=== When and Where will the event be held? ===

AIRRAID2 will be held at the following venue, date and time:

Venue:	
CentralWorld Shopping Complex
(former World Trade Center)
Level 1, Eden Zone
4 Rajdamri Road, Patumwan
