About us
We are a group of students sharing a common interest in computer and network security who represent UMBC at competitions and events.
At our meetings, we discuss current cyber-security topics and practice for upcoming competitions. We strive to maintain a balance between explaining the underlying theory while providing as much hands-on experience to our members as possible.
Meeting times
| Monday | 7:00pm - 9:00pm | room ITE 367 |
At this moment, our meetings are open to every UMBC student. For official membership requirements, refer to the Legal section below.
You are encouraged to bring your own laptop, with an hypervisor so you can install virtual machines. We can provide a few laptops if you do not want to bring your own.
