| Logos | Application |
|---|---|
|
Web application security testing Identifies vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, XSS, & CSRF. Automates scanning for OWASP Top 10 risks. Intercepts and modifies HTTP/S requests & responses. |
 |
Penetration Testing Framework Simulates real-world attacks to test system security. Automates exploitation using known vulnerabilities. Useful for vulnerability assessment & security research. |
 |
Network packet analysis Captures and inspects network traffic in real time. Identifies suspicious activities (e.g., MITM attacks). Analyzes protocols to detect vulnerabilities. |
|
Web vulnerability scanning Detects outdated software, misconfigurations, & security flaws. Identifies default credentials and exposed files. Supports automated testing of web servers. |
|
Password cracking Uses dictionary and brute-force attacks. Supports various encryption formats (MD5, SHA, etc.). Cracks passwords from Linux shadow files, Windows hashes, etc. |
|
Web application security testing Open-source alternative to Burp Suite. Finds security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. Automates web security scans. |
|
Digital forensics and memory analysis Autopsy: Analyzes hard drives, emails, and deleted files. Volatility: Extracts information from RAM dumps (useful for malware analysis and rootkit detection). |
 |
Network exploitation & lateral movement Performs Pass-the-Hash & Pass-the-Ticket attacks. Exploits SMB, RDP, and LDAP vulnerabilities. Dumps NTLM hashes & Kerberos tickets. Executes remote commands (psexec, smbexec, wmiexec). |
 |
Active Directory attack mapping Graph-based attack path visualization. Detects privilege escalation paths in AD. Finds misconfigurations leading to domain admin takeover. Automates enumeration of AD objects (users, groups, computers). |
|
Reverse engineering & malware analysis Performs binary analysis & disassembly. Decompiles binaries to C-like code. Analyzes malware behavior. Supports memory forensics & debugging. |
M.Tech online program in Cyber Security follows a structured evaluation system with mid-semester and end-semester exams assessing theoretical concepts. Continuous assessments, including lab work, assignments, projects, and quizzes, ensure ongoing evaluation aligned with course requirements.
| Exam Type | Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Mid-Sem Exam | Tests knowledge of fundamental security concepts like cryptography, network security protocols, and threat detection. |
| End-Sem Exam | Focuses on advanced topics such as ethical hacking, penetration testing, malware analysis, and cyber laws. |
| Continuous Assessments | Involves practical exercises, online quizzes, assignments on current security trends, and group discussions on emerging threats. |
This proposed examination structure ensures that students are thoroughly assessed on both their theoretical knowledge and their ability to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.
| Exam Type | Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Mid Semester Exam - 30% | (MCQs + Fill in the Blanks + Descriptive Questions) |
| End Semester Exam - 40% | (MCQs + Fill in the Blanks + Descriptive Questions) |
| Continuous Evaluation -30% | (To be decided by faculty course wise) |
