Capture the Flag (CTF) Team
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, cryptography, web security, forensics, and more.
These events are perfect for anyone new to security and are a great way to learn and sharpen your skills!
Challenges range from the basics to state-of-the art exploitation techniques.
Attend our regular CTF team meetings! Our general meetings where we go over challenge topics and dig into the categories we love to work on. We also have weekly competition days where we tackle active CTF competitions and work as a team to solve challenges.
Getting started with cybersecurity can be daunting — below is a collection of resources we recommend for beginners looking to getting started with a variety of cybersecurity topics.
