The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (Cyber Security), AAA College of Engineering and Technology, in association with CRYPTNOVA, successfully organized a Hands-On Training on “Web Security Testing” on Saturday, 24th January 2026, at 9:30 A.M. in the Cyber Tech Centre Laboratory, Cambridge Block.
The programme commenced with a welcome address by a student representative from the Department of CSE (Cyber Security), who warmly welcomed the Chief Guest, faculty members, and students, and briefly outlined the objective of the hands-on training programme.
This was followed by the Presidential Address delivered by Dr. P. Elamparithi, Associate Professor and Head of the Department, CSE (Cyber Security). In his address, he emphasized the importance of hands-on learning, industry exposure, and practical skill development in the field of cyber security, and encouraged students to actively participate and make the best use of the training session.
The introduction of the Chief Guest was given by a student representative, who highlighted the academic background, professional achievements, and industry experience of the resource person.
The hands-on training session was conducted by Mr. E. Guru Chandran, B.E., Software Developer & Security DRI, Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd., Tenkasi, a proud alumnus of AAA College of Engineering and Technology. The session focused on providing practical exposure to web application security, vulnerability assessment, and real-time web security testing techniques.
As part of the session, the resource person explained the fundamentals of server and client communication, including HTTP/HTTPS protocols, request–response mechanisms, cookies, sessions, and authentication workflows. This foundational knowledge helped students understand how web applications function and where security vulnerabilities commonly arise.
The training also included extensive hands-on practice using the Burp Suite tool, where students learned how to intercept and analyze web traffic, identify vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws, and understand common attack vectors. Additionally, the resource person discussed preventive measures and secure coding practices to mitigate these attacks, emphasizing industry-recommended security controls and best practices.
The session was highly interactive, with students actively participating in hands-on activities and clarifying their doubts through discussions with the resource person. The training significantly enhanced students’ understanding of real-world web security challenges, attack handling, and defensive strategies used in the industry.
The programme concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by a student representative, who expressed sincere gratitude to the Chief Guest, management, Head of the Department, faculty members, coordinators, and students for their valuable support and active participation, which contributed to the successful completion of the programme.
The hands-on training was organized and coordinated by Mrs. R. Madhu Keerthana, AP / CSE (Cyber Security) and Mrs. K. Karthika, AP / CSE (Cyber Security). The event concluded successfully with positive feedback from students and faculty members.
