Computer_Security_Introduction
Do you avoid using others' computers because it may be keylogged? Did you ever get the feeling that you are being watched? Ever wanted to be the one doing the logging and the watching? Found that inherent flaw in the internet yet? Had to access your mailbox urgently though you didn't know the password to your friend's computer? This is the unique opportunity to answer these questions and bring out the 1337 H4X0R in you!
The computer security workshop is about designing secure systems. This involves exposure to some common exploits and network vulnerabilities, how they could be exploited maliciously and most importantly, how you can guard yourself from these unseen evils! This workshop aims at teach participants how to secure themselves against such vulnerabilities using techniques such as firewalls, and basic system administration principles.
A follow-up of this workshop will involve ub3rc00l cracking competitions, where your team tries to secure your computer and break into your opponent's! Physical Access is strictly not allowed.
The workshop will have talks from renowned Security Experts, hands on sessions, demonstrations and a lot more.
UPDATE:
Lecture by Mr. Hirendra Rathor is scheduled for the 3rd of Oct.
Lecture by Mr. Rohit Srivastwa is scheduled for the 4th of Oct.

Computer_Security_Workshop_Event_Format
The Workshop consists lectures by professionals and renowned hackers on how to make and break computer security.
This will be followed by a competition where your hands-on cracking skills will be tested.
For the code cracking challenge, the preliminary round will test your knowledge on some basic and commonly used techniques for vulnerability detection and exploits. A select few from the first round will progress to the second and final round where they will actually have to get their hands dirty. This round will involve a some amount of coding and a general knowledge of the tools of the trade.
The code cracking challenge will be a team-event, with a maximum of 3 members per team.
