Our general body meetings are held every other week on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM in the Cybertorium. We discuss upcoming events, workshops, and competitions. We also have guest speakers from industry and academia.

Offense meetings focus on developing skills in ethical hacking and penetration testing. These sessions dive into offensive security techniques, preparing members for competitions and real-world scenarios.

Defense meetings are dedicated to learning and practicing defensive cybersecurity strategies. Members explore topics like network security, incident response, and system hardening to strengthen their defensive capabilities.

Our workshops provide hands-on learning experiences in various cybersecurity topics. These sessions are designed to enhance technical skills through practical exercises and guided instruction.

The education track offers structured learning paths in cybersecurity, covering foundational to advanced topics. We provide resources, tutorials, and guided study sessions to help members expand their knowledge.

Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions are a key part of our organization. These events challenge members to solve cybersecurity puzzles and problems, fostering a competitive spirit and sharpening their technical skills.
