Reflecting on the past semester, I'm immensely proud of the strides we've made at Cyber Zee, the cybersecurity club at SRM University Sonepat, Haryana. As a co-lead, I had the privilege of organizing and leading workshops that delved into critical aspects of cybersecurity, fostering a community of informed and skilled individuals.
🕵️♂️ The ART of OSINT: Unveiling the Hidden Data 🕵️♀️
On 19th September 2024, we hosted an insightful workshop on Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), emphasizing the power of publicly available data and its ethical applications. The session was enriched by esteemed speakers:
- Swati L., Founder of CRAC Learning, who shared profound insights into practical OSINT applications with real-world case studies.
- bhavya jain, Security Engineer at Zomato, who captivated the audience with hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge OSINT tools.
Key highlights included:
- OSINT Basics: Introduction to OSINT and its real-world significance.
- Toolkits and Techniques: Hands-on exploration of powerful OSINT tools.
- Practical Scenarios: Case studies and ethical considerations in leveraging OSINT.
🌐 Networking Nexus: Enabling Effortless Connections 🌐
From 7th to 9th November 2024, we embarked on a three-day journey into the realm of computer networking. As the speaker, I guided participants through:
- Networking Fundamentals & Internet Basics
- Nodes and Topologies
- IP Management, Routing, and Switching
- Hands-on Practice with Tools like Cisco Packet Tracer
The hands-on sessions with Cisco Packet Tracer enabled participants to design, configure, and troubleshoot networks in real-time, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application.
💻 Malware Mayhem: Threats that Lurk into the Shadows 💻
On 27th September 2024, I had the opportunity to lead a workshop focused on understanding and combating malware threats. The workshop delved into:
- Understanding Malware: Types, attack vectors, and their impact.
- Analysing Threats: Techniques and tools for malware detection and mitigation.
- Practical Demonstrations: Real-world use of malware analysis tools to expose hidden vulnerabilities.
Witnessing the enthusiasm of participants as they engaged with complex cybersecurity challenges was truly inspiring.
These workshops were a collective effort, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to:
Student Coordinators: Soubhik Chakraborty, Pallavi Kaushik, Kevin Dhankhar, Siddharth Gaur, Divyanka Kirola and Purav Kant.
Faculty Coordinators: Dr. Seema Kharb and Dr. Manvi Khatri, for their unwavering guidance and support.
Such initiatives underscore the transformative potential of technology and the importance of ethical practices in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.
