Hey Everyone (at Rice (in Comp 527 or previously in Comp 327)), the CSAW CTF Competition is scheduled to happen Friday September 28 – Sunday September 30:
“CSAW CTF is a entry-level CTF, designed for undergraduate students who are trying to break into security. Challenges are specifically designed to point students in directions that will help them understand fundamental concepts and develop practical skills. Our sponsors are big players in the security field, who are serious about hiring the right people with the right skills. Our judges are world-renowned experts in the security field, who are dedicated to making sure that our challenges are designed to test these skills.”
So, if you are considering pursuing a career in security, want to try your hand at the competition, or you just want to monkey around like a hacker for a few hours, you should participate 🙂 If you are interested let me know.
