The Department of Cyber Security, organized a Guest Lecture on the topic “Advance Web Exploitation” on 02.09.2025 at Kalam’s Chamber.
The session began with a welcome address delivered by Ms. N. Nasiba Banu, III Year Cyber Security, who warmly greeted the gathering and highlighted the importance of the event.
The Presidential Address was delivered by Dr. M. Premkumar, Principal, Paavai Engineering College, who emphasized that web exploitation techniques are not just about identifying vulnerabilities but also about strengthening the defenses of applications, thereby ensuring secure digital practices.
Following this, Ms. R. Brundha, II Year Cyber Security, introduced the Resource Person, Mr. Monish Kanna, a cyber security professional known for his expertise in web exploitation and ethical hacking practices.
The Keynote Address was delivered by Mr. Monish Kanna, who elaborated on various advanced methodologies of web exploitation. He explained modern exploitation techniques such as SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Remote File Inclusion (RFI), and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). He also discussed real-world exploitation case studies, highlighting how attackers exploit misconfigurations, weak authentication, and insecure coding practices to gain unauthorized access.
Mr. Monish Kanna emphasized the importance of penetration testing, bug bounty programs, and secure coding practices to safeguard digital infrastructures. He also shared practical demonstrations on how attackers bypass security measures and how defenders can mitigate such attacks using tools, frameworks, and industry best practices.
The session provided students with hands-on exposure to real-time exploitation scenarios and methods to prevent them. Students actively interacted during the session, asking insightful questions and gaining deeper knowledge about web security vulnerabilities and their mitigation.
The event concluded with a Vote of Thanks by Mr. V.S. Vasanth, III Year Cyber Security, who expressed gratitude to the management, faculty, the resource person, and the participants for making the program a success.
On the whole, the lecture was highly informative, practical, and engaging, giving students an opportunity to strengthen their understanding of web exploitation and the need for securing web applications in today’s cyber world.
