SpecterOps Bash 2026 - 10 Free Training Tickets for DU Students

Overview

We are super excited to share that SpecterOps has once again stepped up to support the DU cybersecurity community. As part of their annual Specter Bash training event, SpecterOps is donating 10 free tickets for DU students to attend this year’s training.

SpecterOps has been a fantastic partner to the DU cybersecurity program over the years, and this event has been a huge hit with students who are able to attend. Getting hands on time with real adversarial tradecraft training, taught by the folks who literally wrote the book on it, is not something students often get access to for free. We’re incredibly grateful SpecterOps keeps coming back to invest in our students.
