Hacking the Future – Skill Boost Session on Ethical Hacking at Eternal University

What happens when tech meets thrill on a hill? You get students hooked on Ethical Hacking — not just as a concept, but as a real-world, high-stakes skill!

In a power-packed Skill Boost Session at Eternal University, Baru Sahib, BTech CSE students from Akal College of Engineering & Technology got a front-row seat to the world of cybersecurity, thanks to Ms. Kalyani Choudhary, a rising star in the field of Ethical Hacking.

 Not Just a Talk — A Real-Time Hack Attack Simulation

Organized under the Industry Connect initiative in collaboration with Techshilla – the university’s Coding Club, the session wasn’t your typical classroom lecture. It was a 1.5-hour, hands-on experience that gave 35+ students a taste of what hacking really looks like,  from the inside.

Ms. Kalyani showcased tools like:

• dig – for DNS reconnaissance
• nmap – for port scanning
• Wireshark – for packet analysis
• Metasploit – for exploitation testing

Students witnessed a real-world ethical hacking simulation, learning how attackers think — and how defenders stay one step ahead.

Empowering the Next-Gen Coders (Especially Girls!)

One of the most inspiring aspects? The session had a special impact on girl students, many of whom found their passion sparked by a female role model in tech.

Ms. Kalyani didn’t just explain commands — she demystified cybersecurity, encouraging young minds to pursue ethical hacking as a legit career path.

What’s Next? A Dedicated Ethical Hacking Lab!

The enthusiasm didn’t stop with the session. Students and club members are now planning to launch a dedicated Ethical Hacking Lab under Ms. Kalyani’s mentorship. This will offer continuous training, skill development, and project-based learning in cybersecurity.

Gratitude and Looking Ahead

Huge thanks to Ms. Kalyani Choudhary for this high-impact introductory session. Her mentorship is opening up new tech territories for our students — especially those from rural backgrounds — who are now dreaming bigger, bolder, and more digitally secure futures.

Final Takeaway

In today’s digital world, knowing how to protect is as powerful as knowing how to build.

With sessions like these, Eternal University is putting students not just on the tech track — but on the cyber frontline. Ethical Hacking is no longer an elite skill. It’s accessible, learnable, and thanks to mentors like Kalyani Choudhary, truly empowering.
