Get involved
There are plenty of ways to get involved with UFSIT — our weekly meetings are a great place to learn about new topics, which you can put to use when playing capture the flag over the weekends, or even during larger national competitions like CCDC.
Weekly meetings UFSIT hosts weekly club meetings every Thursday from 6:00–7:00 PM in CSE 231. These meetings often include presentations from club members and industry professionals on a variety of security topics. If you’re looking to get started in cybersecurity, our meetings are a great way to get exposed to and learn about the numerous disciplines in the cybersecurity field.
Capture the flag Our club members regularly compete in online capture the flag (CTF) events — under the team name Kernel Sanders — where participants compete against other teams to solve challenges related to reverse engineering, binary exploitation, web security, and more. These events are a great way to learn and sharpen your skills.
Official competitions For more serious competition, UFSIT participates in national events such as the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) and the Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition (CPTC). We are always looking for new members to add value to our teams.
There are no club dues nor applications required to join UFSIT — however you’d like to participate, we are happy to have you. It’s strongly encouraged that you join our Discord server where you can stay up to date on club events, socialize, and collaborate with other club members.
