Sandhya Rani (Faculty Advisor) and the leadership of Varsha Ponugoti (Chair)\, organized an offline meet ing on 20th August 2025 to plan the upcoming technical workshop “HackEth ics – Hack to Protect\, Not to Exploit”.\n\nThe objective of the meeti ng was to discuss the structure\, execution\, and promotion of HackEthics\ , a cybersecurity workshop aimed at equipping students with knowledge of e thical hacking practices\, hands-on training in vulnerability assessment\, and strategies to safeguard systems against evolving cyber threats.\n\nKe y Points Discussed During the Meeting:\n\nWorkshop Format and Structure:\n \n- Finalizing the structure of the session\, including an expert talk fol lowed by hands-on practical training.\n- Covering core cybersecurity topic s such as ethical hacking principles\, common vulnerabilities\, penetratio n testing\, and defense strategies.\n- Ensuring a balance between theory a nd practice to make the workshop interactive and impactful.\n\nContent Pre paration and Standards:\n\n- Deciding on key practical demonstrations such as SQL Injection\, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)\, Command Injection\, and a utomated testing tools (Burp Suite\, SQLmap).\n- Highlighting defense mech anisms including input validation\, firewalls\, and security headers.\n- P reparing case studies and real-world examples to connect theoretical learn ing with practical application.\n\nParticipation and Registration:\n\n- Se tting eligibility criteria and registration deadlines.\n- Planning for a p articipation cap to ensure effective mentor-student interaction.\n- Decidi ng on certificates of participation to encourage student engagement.\n\nTe am Roles and Logistics:\n\n- Delegating responsibilities for coordination\ , technical setup\, timekeeping\, and participant support.\n- Arranging th e venue setup (G-Block Seminar Hall)\, along with technical infrastructure such as laptops\, projectors\, and internet connectivity.\n- Ensuring pro per setup for live demonstrations of tools and cybersecurity practices.\n\ nPromotion and Outreach:\n\n- Designing posters\, digital banners\, and cr eatives highlighting the theme “Hack to Protect\, Not to Exploit”.\n- Planning social media campaigns and internal circulars to reach a wide stu dent audience.\n- Engaging class representatives to spread word-of-mouth p romotion.\n\nConclusion:\n\nThe meeting concluded with all members aligned on the agenda\, structure\, and responsibilities for the workshop. The up coming “HackEthics” session is expected to be an insightful and intera ctive experience\, equipping students with essential cybersecurity skills while reinforcing the ethical values behind responsible hacking practices. \n\nVenkatapur\, Ghatkesar Rd\, Hyderabad\, Andhra Pradesh\, India\, 50008 8 LOCATION:Venkatapur\, Ghatkesar Rd\, Hyderabad\, Andhra Pradesh\, India\, 5 00088 ORGANIZER:varshaponugoti@ieee.org SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:CS Team Meet 15 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/499114 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The IEEE Computer Society (CS) Student Bra nch Chapter at Anurag University\, under the guidance of Mrs. M.
