Course Overview
About This Club
Students step into the mindset of a hacker to understand how systems can be attacked—and how to defend them. They explore OSINT, experiment with tools like Kali Linux, Wireshark, and Burp Suite, and learn why things that seem secure often aren't. It's a safe, structured way to build critical thinking and real cybersecurity awareness.
