You should be familiar with IT security best practices, the basics of TCP/IP networking, and basic programming concepts. You should also be familiar with Metasploit and VMware.

Knowledge of programming languages isn't necessary, but it is beneficial if you have exposure to a common programming or scripting language such as Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++, or Assembly. A programming background is not required, but you will be writing lots of code in class.
