The National Cyber League (NCL) is a great CTF competition for students who have never competed in a CTF competition or have found other CTFs too challenging. The competition lasts around one month and consists of an open gym, preseason, individual game, and team game.

The Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) asks student teams to assume administrative and protective duties for an existing “commercial” network – typically a small company with 50+ users, 7 to 10 servers, and common Internet services such as a web server, mail server, and e-commerce site. This competition is held in the spring semester, though we will conduct several practices during the fall semester and develop procedures and tooling as necessary.

Our first Red Hat Academy (RHA) kickoff event is on September 10th in ETB room 1037 from 4-5 PM! We will have 3 Red Hat representatives come to talk about RHA and Red Hat.
