INCOGNITO REVISITED...

So did you hear the big news? The INCOGNITO 2011 has been postponed by a day due to some unforeseen circumstances and the new dates are 12^th, 13^th and 14^th MARCH!! But nothing else would change- the verve, the excitement, the fun & frolic and the platform to showcase your technical talents!  Also adding to our celebration the very first night would witness GURDAS MAAN making you swing to his musical tracks. This star night would provide all the exhausted participants a reason to relax and enjoy. We Indians believe in UNITY IN DIVERSITY. Adhering to this belief the second night would be enchanted by the calm and mysterious music of the SUFIS. Soothing music after a day’s hard work is like the SPRING after bitter WINTERS.

Heard of HELL DOWN UNDER?? Does that strike a chord in your mind..?? If not, let us help you! It is the tag line of the platform the youth of today craves to be at. Inspired from the ROADIES (MTV), INCOGNITO brings forth “ERO-e-KAUT 2.0”. Keeping intact the feel, the ambience, the energy and well, the mean side of the event, ERO-e-KAUT tasks promise to be a roller coaster ride, sending a chill down your spine and giving you Goosebumps all over. If you think you can handle this, and are DARING enough then this is the place to be at. Look out for the online forms on the OFFICIAL site, www.incognito.co.in

Your forms should be submitted by 12^th March 2011 at the DAVIET campus by 6:00 pm. Don’tmiss out the opportunity. We are waiting for you!

P.S. Be Yourself  ;)

HACK-O-MANIA: Entering the underground world.

In an increasingly net savvy world, hacking is something you cannot ignore, gone are the days when your biggest fear was being mugged on the street-you need not step outside your house to be robbed. And it’s not just money they are after: this time they will steal your identity, alienate your friends, listen to your most private conversation and embarrass you in front of the whole world, and you may not even get to know the nationality of the culprit. Can you stop this onslaught of some brainiac somewhere on the planet looking for some fun at your expense?


The answer to this question was discovered by a large number of students on 18th and 19th of Feb. at DAVIET, Jalandhar, during a workshop on ethical hacking organized by i3indya in association with INCOGNITO 2011. The 16 hour workshop gave an insight into the life of a hacker, the requirement for the job, and the thrills of "breaking and entering" while staying within the law. During the workshop it was shown that the skills employed by hackers were not as complicated as you would assume, and while loopholes do exist on almost every big site, it is usually the carelessness of the netizens that the hackers exploit: that the safety of our online existence depends on us.

The workshop, as with everything bordering on illegal was an instant hit. Happy faces left the hall as the realization of the threats was overwhelmed by the empowerment achieved by the knowledge from the workshop.

And for those of you who missed this wonderful opportunity, you need not repent: more workshops are coming your way.
