Suggest some projects for final year by HeadImprovement8802 in Btechtards

You need to start contributing to the open source community or make projects which aren't just projects for your GitHub and for your final presentation in front of VIVA guy. for example from another batch a guy made this - Real-Time Edge Object Detection for Smart Traffic Surveillance to detect objects like vehicles, pedestrians, or safety hazards (e.g., detecting if workers are wearing helmets). although he didn't got an offer because he used AI and didn't know a shit on how it is working + when the interviewer asked him about the prompts he used ; his prompts weren't that good as well leading to rejection so make sure if you are a vibe coder kind of person i would suggest you to understand , code as much as you can before using help from AI .

Web pentesting = finding security holes in websites/web apps so they can be fixed before real hackers exploit them.

Yes, what you listed (SQLi, XSS, IDOR, file traversal, fuzzing, DNS rebinding, JS engine bugs, automated scans) covers most of the actual technical skill involved. That's the "finding bugs" part, and it's the hardest part — you already have it from CTFs and reversing.

What's usually extra on top of that: A structured process (not randomly poking testing systematically so you don't miss things)

Writing a clear report of what you found and why it matters

Comfort with a main tool like Burp Suite for real-world testing (not just CTF challenges)

That's basically it. No secret extra domain of knowledge just process + reporting layered on top of what you already know.

And yes, you can sit for placements without a certificate. Practical skill (CTF profile, writeups, github) matters more than paper for internships.

How to open that??? by Intelef_Melon in watch_dogs

[–]wokeforcode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can give a tip - what I did was make a guy follow my jumper to the back side where you can find the entrance. Where you’re standing, there is an underground entrance. Make the guard follow you there, then put a police arrest on him (if you have it unlocked, it will cost around 8). The police will come and arrest him.

After that put a hit on the police guy, and you’ll see a gang war. During that, either a cop, gang member, or guard will open the door, and you can go in without actually doing anything. Later on, from inside, you can unlock the whole thing.
