CYBER SECURITY
Department
Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the practice of defending


computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic
systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks.

We sometimes use “Cyber Security” and “Ethical


Hacking” interchangeably but Ethical Hacking is
actually a part of cyber security.

➔ Hacking is all bad and


illegal.
➔ Hacker != Cracker
➔ If you saw it in a movie it
is probably inaccurate.
➔ And no you can’t just simply

What do we actually do in ethical hacking?

Mainly, we breach into websites and applications

● We break into systems (legally ofc)


● We participate in CTFs
● We build tools for security purposes
● Notify authorities about vulnerabilities in their
systems, the right way

What we don’t do:

● Abuse vulnerabilities without permission


● Deface websites
Capture The F ag
CTF (Capture The Flag) is a kind of information security
competition that challenges contestants to solve a variety
of tasks ranging from a scavenger hunt on wikipedia to basic
programming exercises, to hacking your way into a server to
steal data.

Basically, Hacking Puzzles


Categories of challenges
Web Exploitation - exploit the web application

Reverse engineering - decompile, disassemble and debug

Cryptography - math, encryption and encoding

Steganography - find hidden messages in images and other media


in their source code

Forensics - extract data out of files, over a port, discs, etc.

Binary Exploitation - finding a vulnerability in programs(binary


programs)
