Security Exploit Workshop 27th September 2010

On the 27 of September, the AiSPSC and the ISACASC jointly held a Security Exploit Workshop at the IBM lab for the freshmen. The number of turnouts was encouraging and they enjoyed the workshop.

The workshop covered several forms of security exploit. Namely we had the windows magnifier exploit which had been proven and demonstrated in secondary school outreach done by AiSPSC, the BruteSSH exploit and the VNC exploit. A presenter from ISACA, Teh Kaiwen, even managed to complete some of the renowned hACME games online with the freshmen.

It was interesting to note that these exploits were done by student presenters from both clubs. To undertake such a program, it clearly showed the level of maturity of the clubs even though they were just newly formed.

With such an enriching flow of program throughout the day, the freshmen returned home packed with some interesting knowledge that could come in useful in their pursue for knowledge whilst in the diploma.
