Hands-on practice

During the program, each student has to select one of the topics for study and prepare a practice assignment related to the chosen vulnerability, which includes:

The description of the vulnerability
Ways to find it in code and during testing
Ways to fix it
Typical examples of vulnerability implementation
Ways to exploit the vulnerability
Public cases of disclosure of the chosen vulnerability

Upon completion, each student prepares a report, a presentation, and submits their practice assignments. Students are encouraged to share their excellent results at the online conference organized at the end of the program.

We strive to spread information about IT issues and equip as many people as possible with the tools and knowledge to defend applications against cyber threats.
