As part of academic activities for the academic year 2022-2023, the Community of Hackers and Advanced Technologists (CHAT club) from the Department of Information Technology, SRMIST, Ramapuram Campus organised a workshop in Cyber Security on the occasion of Cyber Awareness Month titled “Android Penetrating workshop” on 28.10.2022 from 10 AM to 3 PM exclusively for first-year IT students.
The event began with a greeting and Welcome address from the HoD/IT, followed by the introduction of the resource person by Dr. R. Deeptha. Mr. Karthikeyan V is the founder and CEO of Cappricio Securities. He is also a cybercrime investigator, ethical hacker, and researcher.
The workshop’s main focus was Android Pentesting using real-time industrial tools. It began with an introduction to Android before moving on to Android Studio for Android reverse engineering. Live bug hunting on apk files like Rapido and Dunzo for exception vulnerabilities in their source files was then shown, and students then got to try it out on their own workstations while the speaker watched, working with XML files. Finally, a thought-provoking conversation about the future of Android development in cyber security and deep malware development took place.
Mr.Prince Bhardwaj from CHAT expressed his appreciation to the speaker for coming and sharing helpful knowledge with us, and he also praised the students for their enthusiastic involvement.
