Lecture
Digital security - from phishing to the dark web
Marián Repašan (ESET)
During this lecture we will cover three interesting areas of cyber and information security. Phishing is a technique that attackers use to obtain sensitive data from victims. Being able to identify suspicious messages and being careful when clicking on links are essential for our security. When using chatting applications, make sure to encrypt your communication and trust only verified sources. Avoid sharing sensitive information over channels which are not secure. Tor allows anonymous browsing of the Internet, including the Dark Web. Safe use of Tor and caution when accessing the Dark Web are essential.
Workshops
Location Detection: Introduction to GeoOSINT
Eva Marková (ESET/UPJŠ)
Level: low
Can we locate places in photos? Are there tools that can help us with this? In this workshop you will learn the basics of geolocation and discover free tools and platforms that can help us with localization. GeoOSINT will show us how to collect and analyze geographic information from publicly available sources. Through practical exercises, we will try how to apply these techniques to real-world examples.
Security of Website Content Management Systems
