PROJECT X - 10 - HACKTHEBOX MEETUP LAHOREIn the spirit of our **10th meetup**, we draw inspiration from the ultimate pioneer of the "10th power"—**Nikola Tesla**. Just as Tesla envisioned a world connected by invisible currents, we gather to master the invisible threads of the digital landscape.
***FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE NOT FROM NIIT, ARE SUPPOSED TO JOIN ONLINE VIA GOOGLE MEET.***
Tesla famously obsessed over the mathematical beauty of the universe, and reaching **"Project X"** (the Roman numeral for **10**) marks our own transition from a simple frequency to a high-voltage community. This milestone is a tribute to the relentless pursuit of innovation; we aren't just discussing code—we are channeling the same lightning of curiosity that drove Tesla to illuminate the world.
### **What We’ll Cover**
#### **1\. Malware Analysis**
Go beyond the basics. We’ll discuss how to safely handle suspicious samples, use static and dynamic analysis tools to uncover malicious intent, and understand the behavior of modern ransomware.
#### **2\. Active Directory \(AD\) Security**
Active Directory remains the primary target in corporate environments. We will explore common misconfigurations, lateral movement techniques, and the best practices for hardening AD environments against sophisticated adversaries.
#### **3\. Attacks on AI Applications**
As AI integrates into every software stack, the attack surface grows. This session covers **Prompt Injection**, **Insecure Output Handling**, and how to identify vulnerabilities in LLM-based applications.
