This week we are going to discuss NCAE Cyber Game, a beginner-friendly national collegiate cybersecurity competition that is completely virtual. For those who liked CNY Hackathon or missed the opportunity to participate, this is a great opportunity. We will also discuss CCDC and the opportunity to compete in qualifiers and the regional competition (NECCDC).
Note: this is the second to last meeting before the end of the semester.
Tonight we had Mike Lisi, professional pen tester, member of the white team at CNY hackathon, and one of organizers of NCAE Cybergames briefly speak about his experience starting in cybersecurity, getting certifications, and working in industry for a consulting firm and as an independent consultant/contractor.
We also learned how to setup, secure, and manage services in our virtual lab environment. We set up web (Apache), database (SQL), and DNS (allows internet) servers. For everyone who came tonight, good work! You did a great job and we all learned a lot.
As a reminder: we do NOT have a meeting next week. Our next meeting is after break on 11/30.
Hello everyone! Tonight Brian Garber, iSchool alumus and founding member of the infosec club will come speak about his experiences while in school and in industry. Brian has had internships with a school district in Pennsylvania, JPMorgan Chase in Delaware, Cisco Meraki in San Francisco and now works at Google managing the internal information technology infrastructure with his team. You can learn more about him here.
We will also discuss CNY Hackathon and the NCL team game. If you did not get a chance to participate, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the competition environment and prepare for next semester.
For those who missed today’s meeting, we prepared for CNY Hackathon and the NCL team game this weekend by exploring the infosec virtual lab environment and scanning for services on open ports within the provided network.
