Not everyone has a lot of cash to spend on training these days so I thought I’d put together some links to my fav classes that host free resources.
I suggest using the Downloadthemall plugin if you want to grab all the files in a directory.
1) Sam Bowne – Advanced Ethical Hacking
First off we have Sam Bowne’s classes. Sam is known industry wide as giving some of the best, cheapest, and most hands on classes. He teaches at San Francisco City College and posts all the materials for his class online. He has three courses which he updates regularly:
CNIT 120: Network Security – http://samsclass.info/120/120_S09.shtml
CNIT 123: Ethical Hacking and Network Defense – http://samsclass.net/123/123_F08.html
CNIT 124: Advanced Ethical Hacking – (ongoing semester) http://samsclass.info/124/124_S09.shtml
CNIT 124: Advanced Ethical Hacking – (completed semester) http://samsclass.info/124/124_F08.html
2) Dan Guido’s CS 6573 Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Analysis
Dan teaches a class for ISIS labs at NY poly. This is an advanced course in computer and network security that focuses on penetration testing and vulnerability analysis. The course introduces various methodologies, techniques and tools to analyze and identify vulnerabilities in stand-alone and networked applications. He posts SOME of his lectures on his personal site here:

3) Dr. Frank H. Li – SCSC 555 Advanced Computer Security
Dr. Frank H. Li posts his slides for his advanced comp sec class on the course homepage. Some ok stuff.

4) iCTF – Giovanni Vigna UCSB
Every year prof Vigna holds an international; CTF event. The 2008 Capture The Flag was held on December 5th, 2008, from 8am to 5pm, PST. Included in the below page are descriptions of the challenges, walkthroughs of how certain teams beat them etc. Good reading. He also has multiple grad level ComSci classes where he posts materials, but only hosts them when they are in session, which they are not this quarter. The ctf stuff is gold though anyways!

Update So google fu’ing around (is that word?) I found a lot more infosec class resources, most of them related to intro to infosec. Some have a little bit of everything to offer, including some off topic links. I seriously wanted to parse this list and add descriptions, but i don’t have the time atm. Check them out and see if there’s anything useful for you, comment and let me know! =)
