What we do

Socialize

Our Discord is where most of the action happens. Sharing security news, talking about industry events, showing off projects, or getting help on something you're working on. Follow us on Instagram for the fun side.

Learn

Hands-on workshops and working sessions. We show you a concept, explain why it matters, then let you go free range on a practice environment. Everything runs on our Cyber Range, our club server rack.

Compete

Diverse competitions throughout the year, mostly online, some in-person. CTFs, cyber defense like CCDC, attack/defend like MITRE eCTF. See competitions for details.

Club projects

Applied hacking on real stuff. Bug bounties, securing university systems, hacking routers and IP cameras, porting Doom onto handheld scanners, reverse engineering alarm systems with RF hardware.
