During the last meeting, we introduced an upcoming speaker event on campus, Leading through Change: Our Nation’s Approach to Cyber, where Gen. Keith Alexander will speak. We encourage everyone to go, as Gen. Keith Alexander has lots of insider knowledge on cybersecurity at the public level. We also reminded everyone to attend the CyberStart Kickoff meeting held this Friday, October 14th. Again, we encourage everyone to attend so that they can put a foot-in-the-door professionally by talking to security professionals, but also practically by participating in competitions that will serve as practice for future competitions and for the workforce.
We spent the rest of the time practicing in the NCL Gymnasium for the NCL individual game, which is coming up in less than two weeks! If you got a voucher, please put it to good use and do as much practicing as possible. Don’t forget to start forming teams for the NCL team game portion, as well.
If you didn’t get a voucher, we’re working on hopefully getting more. In the meantime, feel free to make an account at PicoCTF. It is free and provides a similar Capture-the-Flag game as NCL.
Both Lockdown and Hivestorm are this Saturday, October 15th. Wish all of our participants luck. Go orange! ?
