About the Workshop

CyberDragons encompasses both offensive and defensive cybersecurity. We primarily focus on CTFs (Capture the Flag competitions) in offensive cybersecurity and Cyber Patriot in defensive security. CTFs are a gamified way to learn cybersecurity where participants hack into different computer systems by exploiting known vulnerabilities. There are many CTFs throughout the year, and many of them have cash prizes for placing high. CyberPatriot is a national competition where contestants work in six-person teams to harden Windows, Linux, and Cisco systems to enhance defensive security skills. We meet every Tuesday in Dr. Shukla's room (5.339) from 3:15 to 4:00.
