Description: Discover how AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity - Practical Ethical Hacking workshop with WOCSA. Why this workshop? Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially advanced language models (LLM), is changing the game in cybersecurity. It allows analyzing code, detecting vulnerabilities, and even automating attacks or defenses intelligently. This workshop offers to explore these tools from both the attacker's and defender's 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 audit 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 secure targets like OWASP JuiceShop or DVWA, all guided by natural language commands. Observe how 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 16GB of RAM for a smooth experience. The WOCSA Ethical Hacking Workshop Toulouse group brings together people interested in ethical hacking and computer security in general. It hosts an exchange space (in the form of a discussion list) and offers a monthly meeting. Its primary purpose is to allow professionals, students, and all enthusiasts in general to exchange and enrich each other from their experiences and skills. The approach is respectful and membership is subject to validation and signing of a deontological charter.

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 flows when connected 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 secure. 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 it's useful: To adopt good habits and protect your personal data, even without being an expert.

Description: Workshop: Linux Privilege Escalation - Learn to become 'root' like a pro! Why this workshop? You've heard of hackers who take total control of a server? This workshop offers 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 vulnerability to read a secret file (/root/flag.txt). What you will do: Discover common vulnerabilities: Exploit misconfigured programs (SUID, passwordless sudo). Hijack automated tasks (cron jobs). Exploit files modifiable by all (/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 clear-text passwords in files? Practice safely: 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 penetration tests. For the curious: Discover how 'real' attacks work (but in a legal and supervised manner). Example challenge: You are connected as user 'wocsa'. The file /root/flag.txt is inaccessible... but the program /usr/bin/find has a special right (SUID). How to use it to become root? Prerequisites: A PC with Docker installed. No advanced knowledge required - just the desire to learn! The WOCSA Ethical Hacking Workshop Toulouse group brings together people interested in ethical hacking and computer security in general.
