MIST is the Manipal Information Security Team — a student-led collective pushing cybersecurity, research, and community learning forward.
We obsess over puzzles, red-blue exercises, and tools that make security approachable for everyone on campus.
We host weekly labs, ship open-source tooling, and document our learnings so anyone curious about cybersecurity can dive in without gatekeeping.
We experiment across blue, red, hardware, and AI — and invite the campus community to build with us.
Weekly study jams, reverse-engineering nights, and mentorship keep beginners and experts solving together.
MIST squads travel and compete in CTFs — from campus qualifiers to global finals — learning under real pressure.
We publish write-ups, zines, and talks so every experiment turns into a resource the community can reuse.
From firmware to phishing simulations, we prototype the future of security while nurturing the next wave of practitioners at MAHE.
