Welcome Back, CyberDawgs! I hope everyone has had a great start to the semester! We have a lot planned for this semester hope you all are as excited to get started as we are!!
Club Meetings Our meetings will occur every Monday Night from 7:15 PM to 8:15 PM in a Room TBD and via Webex:https://umbc.webex.com/meet/CyberDawgs. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you're well-versed in cybersecurity or new to the field. Our First Meeting is Monday, September 15; we can’t wait to see you all there!
CyberPaws CTF A new CTF challenge will be released at the end of each meeting. Keep your eyes on old-challenge-releases. They will be fun, beginner-friendly, and designed to help you build your skills. At the start of each meeting, we will walk through the previous week's challenge. There will be tech prizes for the top 3 solvers.
Hacker Trivia Returning for its second semester, [VP] Alex H and [T] Michael M will be hosting hacker trivia night on September 22! Club members will be split into teams to answer questions from a wide variety of cyber-related trivia categories.
Cyber Movie Night
We will hold a movie night during our November 10th Club Meeting as a break from the technical jargon. We offer free pizza, popcorn, and drinks. This will be a great chance to hang out with fellow club members and relax from the stress of school. The movie is TBD.
Cyber Defense Exercise (CDE)
Our Cyber Defense Exercise (CDE) will be on Saturday, October 4. CDE is a Red/Blue competition open to all UMBC students. It is a great way to experience a competitive environment while learning about cybersecurity. Registration information will be out soon.
End-of-Semester Celebration
At the final club meeting on December 8th, all students are invited to take a break before exams. We provide free pizza, drinks, candy, music, and games. We will also announce winners of our CyberPaws CTF and hand out prizes!
