Web Exploitation
Auth bypasses, SSRF, injection, request smuggling — the modern app attack surface.

LAYER8
The OSI model stops at seven. The most exploitable layer is the one operating the keyboard — and that is the one we train.
Layer8 is the cybersecurity club at PES University, ECC. We run weekly CTFs, break and build across web, crypto, reversing and pwn, and turn curiosity into capability.

What we break, in eight directions
Every member picks a lane and goes deep, then cross-trains on the rest during weekly sessions.
~/pwn
Binary Exploitation
Stack and heap corruption, ROP, format strings, exploit dev against real binaries.
~/rev
Reverse Engineering
Static and dynamic analysis, unpacking, patching, and reading assembly for sport.
~/crypto
Cryptography
Padding oracles, weak PRNGs, RSA math, and the classic 'never roll your own'.
~/forensics
Forensics
Disk and memory images, packet captures, log timelines, artifact recovery.
~/stego
Steganography
Data hidden in pixels, audio and metadata — spot it, extract it, carve it out.
~/osint
OSINT
People, infrastructure and leaks — what the open internet already knows about a target.
~/network
Network Security
Protocol abuse, pivoting, traffic analysis and defending the wire.
weekly ctfs
Every week, a new set of flags.
Beginner-friendly challenges, a live scoreboard, and writeups afterwards. Show up with a laptop and a browser — we handle the rest.
