ICT Security Basics – Demystifying the Sec puzzle

At 24 November 2011, I was invited to make an introductory presentation about Information and Network Security at 4th Student Guru Patra’s branch meetup. Ī¤hank to Erikos Alkalai for the invitation and congratulations to all the branch support team for their great work.

Knowing that the audience was mainly consisted of undergraduate students attending their first years at university and with no prior contact with information and computer security issues, the presentation focused on the basic theory and some practical issues that a computer engineer must know. The theoretic part was followed by a half-hour live hacking demo, presenting trivial ways followed by an attacker to compromise a main server system.
