Hello, fellow information security enthusiasts! Yesterday, we kicked off with our first meeting of the spring 2023 semester. During the meeting, members got a lock picking kit and were able to practice their lock picking skills on clear locks, door knobs (which we provided), bike locks, and everyday Master brand locks. We used this opportunity to debut the new badge system.
Essentially, members can do various tasks to earn badges, cementing their participation and contributions to the club. If you are in our Discord server, you’ll notice the new #badges channel, which shows when members get badges for performing a specific task. As of yesterday, we’ve awarded badges for successfully picking clear locks and for successfully picking non-clear locks. Eventually, we’ll have a page on the website showcasing what tasks you can perform to earn badges, and what badges members have earned, so keep an eye out for that.
Also, we’re introducing an e-board shadowing system. If you would like to learn more about being on the Information Security club e-board or would like to be part of it in the future, then please contact us on Discord or through methods listed on our e-board page. Thank you!
