As a computer science student, you can use your skills to perform web and database security testing. This includes using penetration testing techniques to find vulnerable websites or systems, and using programming techniques to exploit any found vulnerabilities. Additionally, you can leverage your knowledge of web application architecture and common web application flaws in order to detect flaws in existing systems which you could then report to the proper parties.

There are a few ways that a computer science student can utilize their knowledge and skills to attack vulnerable websites and databases. First, they could exploit coding or design mistakes to gain access to secured information. By understanding the coding logic of websites and databases, one can detect any security flaws that could be leveraged for an attack. Additionally, a computer science student can explore different algorithms and techniques used in various cryptographic systems such as hash functions or digital signatures in order to attempt password cracking attempts on encrypted data or authentication tokens. Finally, knowledge about distributed computing architecture may enable one to find weaknesses in networks which connect web servers or database servers together with clients’ devices thus enabling an attack route into these back-end networks directly by manipulating communication between services within them.
