On November 28, 2023, students of higher education majors 121 “Software Engineering” and 126 “Information Systems and Technologies” came to a guest lecture on the topic: “Ethical hunting of unethical hackers.” The lecturer will be a real hacker, as well as the founder of the community of Ukrainian hacker-activists HackYourMom – Mykyta Knysh. At the lectures, topical issues of cyber protection, countering hacker attacks, and ensuring the security of personal data were discussed. Mykyta Knysh spoke about the legal and technological aspects of ethical or “white” hacking, and also presented a set of tools for analyzing systems for penetration, as well as OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) – data collection from open sources. During the lecture, the participants initiated a lively discussion on the borderline between ethical and unethical hacking, as well as access to darknet resources.
The lecture was organized as part of the participation of the department of information technologies and programming in the international project “Cyber security of critical infrastructure”.
