Description: Discover how AI revolutionizes cybersecurity — Practical Ethical Hacking workshop with WOCSA Why this workshop? Artificial intelligence (AI), especially advanced language models (LLM), changes the game in cybersecurity. It allows analyzing code, detecting vulnerabilities, and even automating attacks or defenses intelligently. This workshop offers you to explore these tools from both the attacker and defender sides. What you will do: Understand the power of AI in cybersecurity: Discover how AI analyzes code and logs much faster than a human, identifying complex vulnerabilities (like access control issues or injections). See how it can automate repetitive tasks (scans, vulnerability exploitation) in seconds. Defense Track (Protect your systems): Use OASIS, an AI-powered code auditing tool, to scan a vulnerable application (WOCShAck#4). Learn to interpret vulnerability reports and fix flaws with personalized advice generated by AI. Test different scan modes: fast, deep, or targeted. Offensive Track (Understand to better defend): Play the role of an advanced attacker with CAI, an AI agent that automates vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Launch realistic attacks (SQL injection, XSS, etc.) on secured targets like OWASP JuiceShop or DVWA, all guided by natural language commands. Observe how the AI chains tools (like Metasploit) to simulate a complete cyberattack, from intrusion to privilege escalation. Discover best practices: Why and how AI democratizes cybersecurity by making tools accessible, even to non-experts. Understand the ethical and legal limits: these techniques must only be used within the workshop framework, on isolated environments. Why it's useful: For developers: Know how to detect and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited. For security professionals: Anticipate automated attacks and strengthen defenses. For the curious: Demystify AI in cybersecurity and adopt a proactive approach. Prerequisites: A PC with Docker, Ollama (for local models), and ideally 16 GB of RAM for a smooth experience.

Description: Discover how attacks on public Wi-Fi networks work, in a concrete and supervised manner. During this workshop, you will: Create a fake Wi-Fi network (harmless) to observe how data circulates when connecting to it. Discover DNS Spoofing: a technique used by hackers to redirect you to a fake login page (for example, to steal your credentials). Analyze network traffic live: you will see what information (passwords, messages, etc.) can be intercepted if the network is not secured. Learn to defend yourself: Spot a suspicious Wi-Fi network and avoid connecting to it. Understand the usefulness of a VPN to encrypt your data and protect your privacy. Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. Prefer secure sites (HTTPS). Why is it useful? To adopt the right reflexes and protect your personal data, even without being an expert.

Description: WOCS'hAck is a school bug bounty challenge. Competitors must find bugs on a website, report them with analysis, assessment, and remediation proposals. Reports are evaluated by experts. The goal is to put students in a real-life context to report bugs and improve cybersecurity. This is a fully online, non-stop 24-hour event.

Description: Workshop: Linux privilege escalation — Learn to become root like a pro! Why this workshop? You have already heard about hackers who take total control of a server? This workshop offers you to discover 12 classic techniques to go from a normal user to administrator (root) on a Linux system. Each exercise is designed as a mini-challenge (CTF): your objective is to find and exploit a flaw to read a secret file (/root/flag.txt). What you will do: Discover common vulnerabilities: Exploit misconfigured programs (SUID, sudo without password). Divert automated tasks (cron jobs). Take advantage of files modifiable by everyone (/etc/passwd, root scripts). Find forgotten or reused passwords. Learn an investigation method: You will receive a checklist to explore an unknown system: Who am I? What rights do I have? What programs can I run as admin (sudo -l)? What files are modifiable or have special rights? Are there passwords in clear text in files? Practice in complete safety: Each lab is isolated in a Docker container. You can break everything without risk! Why it's useful: For developers/sysadmins: Understand how to secure a server and avoid these pitfalls. For cybersecurity enthusiasts: Train for competitions (CTF) or intrusion tests. For the curious: Discover how real attacks work (but in a legal and supervised manner). Prerequisites: A PC with Docker installed. No advanced knowledge required — just the desire to learn!
