Description
This project is an introduction to computer security.
SnowCrash is a CTF like project where you have to solve a challenge in order to get a flag to move on to the next level.
You will become familiar with several languages (ASM/perl/php…),
develop a certain logic to understand unknown programs, and become aware of problems linked to simple programming errors
As a developer, you may have to work on softwares that will be used by hundreds of persons in your career.
If your software shows some weaknesses, these weaknesses will expose the users through your software.
It is your duty to understand the different techniques used to exploit these weaknesses in order to spot them and avoid them.
This project is a modest introduction to the wide world of cyber security. A world where you’ll have no margin for errors.
Objectives
This project aims to make you discover, through several little challenges, cyber security in various fields.
You will use more or less complex methods that will give you a new perspective on IT in general.
This project aims to develop some logic thinking you will learn for good and use in the future.
It will test your knowledge in:
-UNIX based systems
-Different programming languages such as ASM, Perl, Lua, PHP
-Network packet data analysis
-Shell scripting
