Foundations of Cyber Security II

Hello there,

we, the Capture-the-Flag Team saarsec, consisting of students and lecturers from Saarland University, are giving a workshop to familiarize students with Capture-the-Flag competitions as well as attacking and defending against security vulnerabilities. CTFs are a great way to actually fiddle around with the practical details of mounting attacks and defenses that were theoretically discussed during your studies. This practical experience can not only be beneficial for your studies but also come in handy during later stages of your career. The workshop starts with a short introduction to Linux, followed by different topics such as File Inclusions, SQL Injections, and Command Injections. For each topic, we will discuss how we can find these vulnerabilities, exploit them on a large scale, and how we can fix them. Then, for each each topic, you'll spend more than 50% of the time in each slot on actual challenges. At the end, we will host a CTF for all workshop participants where they can use their newly acquired skills against each other.
