**TryHackMe Tuesdays** is a weekly workshop series designed to provide participants with hands-on cybersecurity skills and real-world experience using the TryHackMe platform. Held every Tuesday, these workshops guide attendees through interactive, practical exercises that cover various cybersecurity topics, such as penetration testing, network security, web application security, and more. Each session is focused on a specific TryHackMe challenge or learning path, allowing participants to work through scenarios that simulate actual cyber threats and defenses. With the support of experienced facilitators, participants can ask questions, discuss strategies, and collaborate with peers in a supportive environment. By the end of the series, attendees will have significantly enhanced their technical abilities, problem-solving skills, and confidence in handling cybersecurity challenges, making them better prepared for real-world situations and career opportunities in the field.
**BurpSuite or Bust Wednesdays** is a weekly workshop series where participants dive deep into the world of web application security using PortSwigger's Web Security Academy and the powerful Burp Suite tool. Held every Wednesday, these workshops are designed to provide hands-on experience with Burp Suite, guiding participants through practical exercises and real-world scenarios that help them understand how to identify, exploit, and remediate common web vulnerabilities. Each session focuses on different aspects of Burp Suite, such as intercepting and modifying HTTP requests, using the Repeater for testing inputs, leveraging the Scanner for automated vulnerability detection, and employing the Intruder for customized attacks.
Key takeaways from the series include a comprehensive understanding of web security principles, proficiency in using Burp Suite's various modules for manual and automated testing, and the ability to recognize and exploit vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Participants will also learn how to use advanced Burp Suite tools like Collaborator and Sequencer to test for more sophisticated threats and vulnerabilities. By the end of the workshop series, students will have gained practical skills in web application security testing, a deeper knowledge of web vulnerabilities, and experience in using Burp Suite to secure applications, making them more adept and confident in their roles as cybersecurity professionals.
