Red Versus Blue at BSides Boise 

Have you ever detected an attack while it was happening? Have you ever been the attacker? Red versus Blue is a hands-on workshop where participants experience security attacks from the perspective of an attacker and a defender.

As a Blue Team participant, you’re monitoring a live environment looking for anomalous behaviors.  It’s your job to identify the breach and make recommendations for remediation.  Blue team players will get hands-on experience using Palo Alto firewalls and Splunk for attack detection. 

Red Team participants will receive a playbook with step-by-step instructions for a series of attacks against the Blue Team.  All Red Team tools are included with Kali Linux.

This event is designed for players of all ages and abilities.  Prizes will be awarded for high scores, insightful discoveries and collaboration skills.

 A laptop capable of booting Kali Linux is required.

RvB has 16 available slots with team of two facing off against each other.  Please indicate if you'd like to be Red or Blue team and if you’d like to be paired with a particular teammate; we'll do our best to accomodate.  The RvB completion starts at 9pm and lasts 2 hours.  Please arrive early, open seats at 9pm will be given to alternates.  Spectators are welcome and encouraged.
