n|u Puliya, really short courses for skill bridging.

Puliya means culvert or a small bridge in Hindi.

We have been getting constant feedback about our null Humla and null Bachaav sessions. The feedback is both ways and almost all the champions are of the opinion that there are some essential non-security skills that are sorely lacking in a lot of attendees.

To "bridge" this gap in skills of our members attending the sessions we are starting null Puliya. The idea is to bridge the skill gap and get our members ready to take on advanced topics covered in null Humla and null Bachaav.

Proposed sessions for this event:

  • Basics of Wireshark by Harshal jamdade
  • Personal Security Hygiene by Akash Mahajan
  • Getting started with encrypted email by Akash Mahajan
Note: The session details including schedule are available below.

null Puliya are short Bridge sessions about topics which enable security and may not be directly security topics.

On 19th of April, we are planning to learn about basics of security for the whole day.

These are the following topics that going to be covered.

Topics

  1. Basics of Wireshark - Harshal
  2. Personal Security Hygiene - Akash Mahajan
