Full event details

The increasing dependence on the internet means that attacks on computer systems can have serious consequences for industry, national infrastructure and our everyday lives. One way this threat can be combated is by teaching more people how to hack. White hat hackers (known as penetration testers) actually get paid to test the security of systems by attempting to hack into them into them. This session will give students the opportunity to try hacking into some web services. With pointers from the team and a little guidance, your students will start to explore the ways in which software bugs, poor design decisions and misconfiguration can allow an attacker access to data that should be private.
