Faculty of Science, UPJŠ
Practical workshops based on real-world experiences in resolving computer security incidents. An opportunity to talk to people who are professionally involved in information and cybersecurity, to meet new people, and compete for interesting prizes.
Lecture
Ethical Hacking in Practice
Kevin Seman (IstroSec)
The lecture will introduce the different forms and roles of ethical hackers who work in the field of offensive security. It will focus on a spectrum of activities, from penetration testing, which simulates cyber attacks to identify weaknesses in IT infrastructures, to physical intrusions, where organizations' security measures are tested in places with sensitive data. The tools, techniques and methodologies that these specialists use to uncover vulnerabilities will be discussed. The lecture will also clarify the ethical and legal aspects of their work and the importance of their collaboration with organizations to improve security.
Workshops
Cybersecurity through the eyes of an attacker
Kevin Seman (IstroSec)
Level: Intermediate
The workshop offers a practical look at the cybersecurity of organizations through the eyes of an attacker. Participants will learn about the techniques and tools that attackers use to find vulnerabilities in systems and networks. In a simulation of an express penetration test, participants will be guided step by step through the process from identifying vulnerabilities to proposing solutions. The aim of the workshop is to provide practical experience and knowledge in the field of penetration testing and to present the outputs of the penetration test to participants.
Security of Website Content Management Systems
Michal Copko (SPŠE)
Level: Intermediate
During this workshop we will take a closer look at website content management systems (CMS). We will show you the security of these systems and the possibilities of their abuse by exploiting various security vulnerabilities. The workshop also includes a demonstration of a simple attack on the most commonly used CMS – WordPress.
Mobile Device Security
Jakub Mohler (CSIRT-UPJŠ)
Level: low
The theoretical part of the workshop will cover the most common attacks on mobile phones, including technical details and methods of protection against them. During the practical part, we will go through key settings related to privacy and security on mobile phones.
Responding to cyberattacks with a game (Backdoors & Breaches)
Pavol Sokol (CSIRT-UPJŠ)
Level: Intermediate
Backdoors & Breaches is a cooperative cyberthreat simulation game where "defenders" work together to uncover attack paths used to attack their environment. The game combines elements of a card game and classic role-playing games, allowing organizations and individuals to learn about tactics and tools used in cyberattacks and defense against them. This workshop will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with the game Backdoors & Breaches, practice responses to cyberattacks and learn the basics of cybersecurity in a fun way.
