Khaberni - As part of the Arabian Amman University's effort to enhance communication between its students and alumni, and to link academic education with successful professional experiences, the College of Information Technology hosted graduate Islam Nizar Rabab'ah, in an interactive lecture that aimed to convey his professional experience and success story to the college students, with the presence of a number of students from various specializations.
During the meeting, Rabab'ah showcased the latest version of his tool in the field of cybersecurity (Samp AI v4.4), which is an advanced automated penetration testing system. It executes the penetration testing lifecycle completely autonomously, from information gathering and reconnaissance, through system and source code analysis, to discovering vulnerabilities and exploiting and technically confirming them. He highlighted that the tool operates entirely locally, ensuring a high level of privacy and data security. It relies on an advanced operating environment and artificial intelligence models capable of independent analysis and decision-making. This enables it to build a cumulative understanding of targeted systems and develop dynamically adaptive offensive strategies against discovered security systems. Rabab'ah added that (Samp AI) does not rely solely on traditional scanning tools, but integrates a set of professional tools into a cohesive system, including exploration techniques, vulnerability testing according to global standards like (OWASP Top 10), and API analysis, as well as executing advanced scenarios to circumvent security systems and practically confirming vulnerabilities.
Rabab'ah also stressed that one of the key features of the tool is its ability to generate professional technical reports automatically immediately after the testing process is completed. These reports include an accurate description of the vulnerabilities, proof of concept (PoC), reimplementation steps, risk level assessment, along with clear recommendations for remediation, making it a comprehensive and ready-to-use tool in professional environments. Rabab'ah noted that his studies at the College of Information Technology at Arabian Amman University were a pivotal milestone in his professional career, as it provided him with the knowledge and practical skills that enhanced his readiness for the job market. He also highlighted the significant role played by the faculty members in supporting and guiding him towards achieving his professional goals.
In turn, Dr. Rami Sahweil, the Dean of the College of Information Technology, emphasized the college's commitment to enhancing communication bridges with its alumni and benefiting from their successful professional experiences to enrich the educational journey, pointing out that hosting outstanding alumni examples contributes to motivating students and inspiring them towards achieving their future aspirations.
At the end of the meeting, Rabab'ah offered a set of motivational guidelines for the students. He emphasized the importance of adopting a continuous learning approach, constantly developing personal skills, not just relying on academic outputs alone, and highlighted the necessity of always striving for excellence and utilizing available opportunities to build a successful and sustainable professional career. From their side, the students expressed a high level of engagement with the contents of the meeting and the presented success story, affirming their pride in belonging to the College of Information Technology at Arabian Amman University, which continues its role in preparing and qualifying high-quality talents capable of meeting labor market requirements and effectively contributing to fields of innovation and development.
