Real Students. Real Research. Real-World Cybersecurity Wins.
At Girls Learn Cyber, our students don’t just learn — they launch.
Every research project is designed for impact: publication, recognition, and serious portfolio power.
🏆 Featured Achievements
🔐 Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) — National Vulnerability Database
GLC students authored a real CVE addressing a critical vulnerability in network-connected key boxes. Now published in the NVD, a globally recognized resource for cybersecurity pros.
💣 ExploitDB Publication
Students built and published a custom exploit targeting Ricoh printers — automating access to directories, logs, and system data. It’s now part of ExploitDB.
🤖 AI-Driven Cybersecurity Tools
Using ChatGPT, students developed Python-based penetration testing modules and even built a GPT that evaluates industrial control system (ICS) cyber risk.
🧬 AI Prompt Injection Research
Students identified vulnerabilities in LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini, reported directly to OpenAI and Google, and co-authored academic papers on prompt injection techniques.
🎯 Bug Bounty Recognition
GLC students earned spots on Drexel’s Bug Bounty Hall of Fame three years running (2022–2024). They’ve ethically hacked everything from:
-
Data center cooling systems
-
Autonomous shipping vessels
-
Satellite communication terminals
-
Network-attached storage devices
🎯 Bug Bounty Recognition
GLC students have published and presented conference papers on:
-
Reconnaissance techniques modeling
-
ICS vulnerability pathways
-
AI-augmented cybersecurity analysis
