What is it about?
In order to protect web applications from hackers, one should know their attack techniques. In this workshop, the participants therefore slip into the attacker role and become hackers. During two intensive days at the Max Planck Institute for Privacy and Security in Bochum, they will learn how vulnerabilities in web applications are created and how they can be exploited.
Who can participate?
The workshop is aimed at young women between the ages of 15 and 25, with an interest in computer science and web technology and a curiosity for cyber security. There are 25 places available.
