Paying IT Forward
The Red Hat (Linux) courses are Free-Of-Charge to the freshmen participants, because the instructors (your seniors) received their training Free-Of-Charge from their seniors!
This is a tradition which we practise in Dip CDS, we called it “paying it forward”.
Yep! The kindness and goodness which we received (from upsteam), we would pass them along downstream to the younger ones.
It all started with the cohort of 2006, then to 2007 (the first photo), then to 2008 and 2009 (the second photo)!
Notice their awesome all-black and all-white Red Hat t-shirts?
Do you notice the boy in white, sitting at the front row (in the centre)? He is Koh Jun Xiang, he has gotten his Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).
RHCE is much more difficult and is one level “higher” than RHCSA (or RHCT)!!!
Now, our student cohort of 2010 has a whopping 21 certified Red Hat professionals! And they have not graduated from TP yet!
The 2009 cohort had taught them, and they will teach you when you come on board!

My Intership @ INTERPOL France
You might have already heard about the exciting news: Yep, the Diploma in Cyber & Digital Security students (and soon the Diploma in Digital Forensics too) continue to have the rare and rewarding internship experience at INTERPOL France!
Take a look at their precious moments (Hamzah & ZhongMin) @ INTERPOL HQ:
So, what is the internship experinece like? Read on as Teh Kaiwn, 3rd Year student from the diploma in CDS,shared his experience with us:
As it was my first time to Europe, I was eagerly looking forward to experiencing living in France. Therefore I felt really fortunate to be chosen for a 5 month attachment to INTERPOL in Lyon. When I first arrive in Lyon, the first thing that I took notice of was the temperature and humidity and was actually glad to be away from the weather in Singapore. A new adventure was about to begin.
Work at INTERPOL was not just fulfilling but also enriching as I get to meet and work with people from all around the world. My supervisor who is from Japan was very friendly and made sure that I felt at home in INTERPOL. I was also glad to be assigned an important project and not just any mundane office job. Much to my delight, the skills that I picked up while doing my Diploma in Cyber & Digital Security such as digital forensics and programming came in useful for the project thus I did not have to relearn everything from scratch.
Throughout my attachment at INTERPOL, I also took the time to travel around Lyon and look at the beautiful sceneries in France. One of my most memorable outings was a 2 Day trip to the Ardeche River in south central France. I went with a big group of interns from different countries and took part in camping, canoeing and tree climbing. It was a fun filled trip and I even got the opportunity to view the night sky of France that was clear enough to even spot the Milky Way, something that is almost impossible to do in Singapore.
I think that getting this opportunity to live in France away from the comforts of my home and family has strengthened me in many ways. Learning how to prepare meals for myself and living alone without my family has made me more independent. I believe this overseas internship experience is an all rounded one, for I gain not just work experiences, but also experience the culture and lifestyle of people in France. Now I can finally say with pride that I have friends from all over the world.

Singapore to Groom IT Security Experts
News on TV & Radio last night reported that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is enhancing its collaboration with various institutes of higher learning to prepare the next generation of IT security professionals. The Singapore Infocomm Technology Security Authority, (SITSA), an agency under the MHA, signed memorandum of understanding with the NUS, SMU and TP. The MOUs cover a wide spectrum of cooperation from development of courseware for IT security modules, to undertaking of joint research projects.
It was reported that TP is launching a Centre of Digital Security Investigations, which will provide a practical training ground for students to be trained in the areas of incident response, monitoring and artefact analysis.

Cyber Arts of Penetration
Greetings everyone, on 23rd June 2011, AiSP has organised Cyber Arts of Penetration. The objective of this event was to increase our knowledge of BackTrack and giving us hands on experience. For the readers’ information, BackTrack is Linux-based penetration testing arsenal which aids security professionals to perform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking.
Figure 1 All participants are getting ready
Figure 1 shows that all the participants were eager to start the competition as they are interacting with their computer. In the same time, they were listening to the objectives and the tools that they had used during the exploit. In this competition, we learnt to use Metasploit Framework as a tool. Metasploit Framework is open source penetration testing solution as the actual development platform that used to create security test tools and exploit modules and can also be used as a penetration testing system.

Figure 5 Winner of the first prize: Marcus
At the end of the day, let us congratulate to our first prize winner, our junior, Marcus from Class C256. He managed to persevere throughout the whole competition. He took 41 minutes to complete all the challenging objectives. Last but not least, we would like to say a big thank you to all who attended CAOP. Without your present, the event will not be successful.
