  CTF is a series of Bluetooth Low Energy challenges in a capture-the-flag 
 format. It was created to teach the fundamentals of interacting with and h
 acking Bluetooth Low Energy services. Each exercise\, or flag\, aims to in
 teractively introduce a new concept to the user.\n\nOver the past few year
 s\, BLE CTF has expanded to support multiple platforms and skill levels. V
 arious books\, workshops\, training\, and conferences have utilized it as 
 an educational platform and CTF. As an open source\, low-cost of entry\, a
 nd expandable education solution\, BLE CTF has helped progress Bluetooth s
 ecurity research.\n\nThis workshop will teach the fundamentals of interact
 ing with and hacking Bluetooth Low Energy services. Each exercise\, or fla
 g\, aims to interactively introduce a new concept to the user. For this wo
 rkshop\, we will undergo a series of exercises to teach beginner students 
 new concepts and allow more seasoned users to try new tools and techniques
 . After completing this workshop\, you should have a good solid understand
 ing of how to interact with and hack on BLE devices in the wild.\n\nIf you
  have done BLE CTF in the past\, this class is still valuable. For advance
 d users\, we offer BLE CTF Infinity\, a sequel to BLE CTF. The workshop wi
 ll also showcase new hardware platforms and client tools for interacting w
 ith and completing the exercises.\n\nTo prepare for the workshop\, please 
 follow the setup documentation located at https://github.com/hackgnar/ble_
 ctf/blob/master/docs/workshop_setup.md\n\n\n\n\nSkill Level: Beginner to I
 ntermediate\n\nPrerequisites for students: To prepare for the workshop\, p
 lease follow the setup documentation located at https://github.com/hackgna
 r/ble_ctf/blob/master/docs/workshop_setup.md\n\n\n\n\nMaterials or Equipme
 nt students will need to bring to participate:Preferably a Linux box with 
 a Bluetooth controller or a Bluetooth USB dongle. An OSX or Windows machin
 e with a Linux VM and USB passthough works as well but should be setup and
  tested before the workshop.\n\n\n\n\nBio:\n\nRyan Holeman resides in Aust
 in\, Texas\, where he works as the CISO for the peer-to-peer payment platf
 orm Strike. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in cyber defense from Dakota 
 State University. He has spoken at respected venues such as Black Hat\, DE
 F CON\, Lockdown\, BSides\, Ruxcon\, Notacon\, and Shmoocon. You can keep 
 up with his current activity\, open source contributions\, and general new
 s on his blog. His spare time is mostly spent digging into various network
  protocols\, random hacking\, creating art\, and shredding local skatepark
 s.\n​
