Session 2 (PARB 128)
Abstract for the conference program
This presentation introduces teachers to Ethical Hacking: using a hacker’s techniques to defend yourself. This session is primarily for high school and middle school teachers, with a focus on ethics and teaching students both the how and why of cybersecurity. For example, we often tell students not to save their passwords on classroom or library computers. But, when we show them how to hack a stored password in any browser with four clicks of a mouse and two keystrokes, students finally understand why password security is so important.
Includes practical concepts and principles of personal cybersecurity based on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Cybersecurity Workforce Framework and NSA Cybersecurity Concepts. Includes hands-on examples in ethical hacking, social engineering, ransomware, and other techniques used by hackers. Teachers will leave with 10 tips on how to take control of your identity and stop cyberattacks.
No programming experience required.
