Lots of thanks to Fenya and Juriasi of the e-board, who conducted today’s meeting! We started off by forming teams for the upcoming NCL Team Game, so if you are participating and have not chosen a team or have been put into a team, contact us on Discord so that we can discuss that. Also, CNY Hackathon registration is still open until Friday October 28th, so if you want to go then make sure to sign up at the CNY Hackathon Registration page and fill out the transportation form. Spots are first-come first-served, so be sure to register as soon as possible if you want to go.
During the meeting, we learned about the Simple Shell Server (SSH) tool, which lets us connect to the terminal of a remote computer, most commonly through port 22. If you need SSH access to your server, make sure that your firewall is not blindly blocking access to port 22! After the lecture, we had a chance to test out using SSH by playing the Over The Wire Bandit game, which has us progress through levels by finding the passwords to different users on a server. You do not need an account to play, just a terminal with SSH installed (it’s installed automatically on Mac Terminal and Windows PowerShell). Definitely try it out if you didn’t get a chance! Here’s a helpful tip: save the passwords in a text file on your computer once you find them so you don’t lose progress.
