About this event
Do you have no to medium experience in hands-on hacking but have used a web browser before? Would you like to meet other hacking beginners and enthusiasts?
🚩 Join the CTF workshop by Women In Stem where Gina, an experienced CTF player, will give you an introduction to hacking techniques. We will exploit a web vulnerability together and help you form teams if you want to pursue this further.
A CTF (Capture The Flag) is a gamified hacking challenge where players exploit vulnerabilities in order to gain access to a flag. The flag is usually a long sequence of characters you have to submit in order to solve the challenge. Not only are they a lot of fun but completing labs can also help with university and increase the value of job applications in Cyber Security immensely.
It will take place on 11th August at 5 pm in room U1.039 of the CS institute. Please bring your own device, ideally with Firefox installed (not a strict necessity though).
