Web traffic to the servers of the notorious Dutch-German Cyberbunker hosting biz was filled with all kinds of badness, including apparent botnet command-and-control and denial-of-service traffic, says SANS Institute. Cyberbunker, aka CB3ROB, was raided last September by 600 German police gunmen who forced entry to the outfit's Traben-Trarbach HQ. Following the raid, infosec biz SANS was able to set up a honeypot on former Cyberbunker IPs to analyse traffic passing through them - and the results shed light on just what kind of dubious traffic was passing through the servers.
The SANS Institute continues its mission to teach cybersecurity skills during the coronavirus lockdown: it now offers a slew of courses that feature live interaction with world-class instructors that go hand in hand with the many certifications from GIAC, which has also moved its offering online with proctored exams available from the end of May. Live Online, as SANS has simply termed the format, focuses on the interactive element of cybersecurity training, with sessions running completely live, with hands-on virtual lab environments, and new digital courseware perfect for preparation for taking those exams. Most importantly, Live Online sessions are all focused around the presence of a real, live SANS instructor with core knowledge of your study area, who can interact personally with course members in real time.

The SANS Institute has kindly stepped in to help, with several free-of-charge resources. The SANS Security Awareness Work-from-Home Deployment Kit is a set of guides on how to raise awareness to secure a remote workforce - be they actual children, or staff who require the same level of patience and explanation in order to work safely online.
As women take more senior positions in the field of cybersecurity, there's a shortage of women available to mentor others. That's according to the results of the SANS Institute's first survey on Women in Cybersecurity, here, which found while mentoring is a hugely important part of career progression, only seven per cent of those polled had been mentored by another woman.
Amid this planet's ongoing pandemic and stay-at-home measures, if you're keen to repurpose all that time previously spent commuting, attending conferences, and so on, why not take a look at the SANS Institute's Online Cybersecurity Training. SANS has been researching and educating the cybersecurity industry since 1989, building its fully GIAC-certified training courses around in-person events held worldwide.
