National-level workshop on Ethical Hacking
A two-day national- level Ethical Hacking Workshop was organized by Department of Computer Sciences, Department of Computer Applications in association with AIESEC-IIT Delhi and CSI Student Chapter, Chitkara University.
Mr. Bhanu Pratap from Tech Bharat Consultants, Delhi, was the Resource person who is a well known ‘Ethical Hacker’. Some useful tips were taught to the students, which can ethically help students to explore their potential.
In the two days workshop, Google Hacking, Email Hacking, Dos Attacks, Torjens, SQL Injection, Windows Hacking, Mobile Hacking etc. topics were covered. This workshop aims to give technocrats basic knowledge of hacking and how to protect their system against hazardous effects.
Ethical hacking is an important tool in many national security agencies and even companies. An Ethical Hacker is usually employed with the organization and can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems using the same methods as a Hacker. The goal of the ethical hacker is to help the organization take pre-emptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the while staying within legal limits, this is what the workshop stressed upon.
About 75 certificates were given to the participants and all the students enjoyed the workshop with the positive frame of mind.
