Tech track
Cybersecurity
Help a real team find the weak spots in their systems, and fix them before someone else finds them.
Placement depends on what each team has open, so pick this track as your first or second choice in the form.
Apply for this trackWhat you will work on
Three tasks from the kind of work interns do in this track. Yours depend on the team you join.
Check a web app for common weaknesses
Test the login, forms and file uploads against the OWASP Top 10 list, and write up what you find with steps anyone can repeat.
Review who can access what
Go through the user accounts and permissions on a company tool, and list the ones that should be removed or tightened.
Write a short security guide for staff
Turn what you found into a one page guide on phishing and passwords that people will actually read.
What your mentor checks
Your mentor is someone from the team. They review what you submit every week and ask questions like these. [REVIEW: how often]
- Can someone else repeat your finding from your steps?
- Did you rate how serious it is, and say why?
- Did you stay inside the agreed scope?
- Is your suggested fix practical for the team?
Skills you will use
You do not need all of these on day one. The training for this track covers the basics, free if you are selected, and you learn the rest on the job.
- OWASP Top 10
- Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP basics
- Linux command line
- Networks: ports, DNS, HTTP
- Clear bug reports
- Responsible disclosure
A certificate anyone can check
When you finish, your certificate names this track and your dates. Recruiters can check it online with its ID.
Good to know
Mock interview
Practise with a mentor before your real interviews: 30 to 40 minutes online, then honest feedback. ₹299 on its own, and one is included with every internship. Expect questions like these.
- What happens, step by step, when you type a web address into your browser?
- What is the difference between authentication and authorisation?
- How would you explain SQL injection to someone who does not code?
- You find a security bug on a company's website. What do you do next?
When your internship is over, placement agencies we work with can help with your job search: openings in your field, your resume and applying. It is paid separately.
Questions about this track
Do I need to know hacking already?
No. You need the basics of networks and the web, and the patience to test carefully. The training for this track covers the starting points, and it is free if you are selected.
Will I test live systems?
Only systems the company owns and has asked us to test, inside a written scope. You never test anything without permission.
Which degree fits?
B.Tech, B.E., BCA or B.Sc in computer science or IT usually fit best. [REVIEW]
Is there any fee?
Applying is free. If you are selected, the internship fee is ₹2,999, paid in two parts: ₹750 when you join, and the other ₹2,249 at least 30 days before your internship ends. Your acceptance letter shows both before you pay anything. The fee includes one mock interview with a mentor. Fees are not refunded, so read your acceptance letter before you pay. There is no fee for the certificate, and the training for your track is free for interns. If anyone asks you for money before you are selected, or for a certificate, it is not us: do not pay, and tell us.
What if this track has no open seats?
We talk about your second choice. If neither fits, you can take a training and apply again for the next batch.
