A workshop conducted by the Heritage Institute of Technology educates students on the ethics of hacking and data information security
A two-day workshop on 'Ethical Hacking and Data Information Security' was conducted by the Student Council of Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata on March 31.
Hardeep Singh and Aarshdeep Chaggar, corporate trainers and business managers of Infi-zeal Technologies Pvt Ltd were present on the occasion to address the students.
The workshop focused on topics like detecting a fake mail, creating a fake mail, creating duplicate web pages of important email websites, where a person can copy the user-id and password of another individual and many other such functions.
Apart from these, the workshop also focused on educating the students on a variety of information security techniques, which are used by IT companies in the recent times.
During the workshop, Singh gave a wonderful example by creating a fake web page of gmail.com and hacked the e-mail account of a participant in the workshop.
"Hacking has become a common trend in the new IT world and many people are misusing it to hack reputed websites. Moreover if a student knows the different techniques of hacking, it would be easier for him to detect a fake mail. Such workshops are really a value-ad not only to the career but also in practicality," said Singh.
Around 23 students from Heritage Institute of Technology, Techno-India College and Meghnath Saha Institute of Technology attended this two-day workshop which provided them with an insight into and an in-depth knowledge of the latest techniques of hacking and information security.
"We enjoyed this two-day workshop at Heritage which is a student -led event and we hope to conduct one more in wired, manual and wireless robotics," said Shaoni, a B Tech student of Heritage who was also one of the organisers of the workshop.
