A monthly meeting for those interested in learning more about cyber security, hacking, penetration testing, reverse engineering, and embedded security. If you're interested in cyber security, come make some friends and learn some new things! This month we'll be working together to solve challenges in the CyLab Security Academy (formerly Pico) Capture the Flag (CTF) event! This is an always online CTF with tons of challenges across many categories; make an account and get started at https://learn.cylabacademy.org. If this if your first time playing a CTF, the concept is that we are given problem which have hidden answers (flags) that we need to discover, decrypt, or hack our way to. There are different categories of problems that focus on specific skillsets (reverse engineering, binary exploitation, forensics, etc) and problems range from beginner to advanced. CTFs are a great way to learn a lot of different hacking concepts, tools, and techniques! You should bring a laptop that you are comfortable using to do command line things, programming, and running virtual machines to examine and debug untrusted code. Here are some intro guides if you'd like to try some CTF problems and setup your systems beforehand: * [https://primer.picoctf.org/](https://primer.picoctf.org/) * [https://medium.com/@cham3leon/beginners-guide-to-ctfs-1ce99ee0071a](https://medium.com/@cham3leon/beginners-guide-to-ctfs-1ce99ee0071a) * [https://ctf101.org/intro/what-is-a-ctf/](https://ctf101.org/intro/what-is-a-ctf/) ============================= **Where do I park? / How do I get inside?** Parking: There is free street parking on N Ontario St. It is usually easy to find a spot after business hours or on weekends.
