Thanks for showing up last night, and staying flexible with us! I know we weren&amp;rsquo;t able to host the meeting we wanted at the last minute, but hopefully you got to enjoy some memes, learn about the club, and possibly pick a lock for the first time! We hope to see you again in more meetings throughout the term. Please feel free to reach out to any officer if you have questions or need help!</description></item><item><title>WWT Blue Team CyberRange</title><link>https://osusec.org/blog/wwt-blue-team/</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Oct 2023 17:24:37 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://osusec.org/blog/wwt-blue-team/</guid><description>Last Thursday, OSUSEC assembled a team of 4 students to compete in WWT&amp;rsquo;s fantastic blue team CyberRange! We had a ton of fun and are very proud to announce that we placed 3rd, going up against a mixture of teams including those from federal agencies &amp;amp; Fortune 500 companies! We played from 3pm to 3am the next morning, all in one shot. The crash afterwards was not pleasant but it was still worth it &amp;ndash; incident response and cyber competitions take on a wilder and much more creative tone when it&amp;rsquo;s an odd hour in the morning.</description></item><item><title>NCCDC 2023</title><link>https://osusec.org/blog/nccdc-2023/</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2023 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://osusec.org/blog/nccdc-2023/</guid><description>The last weekend of April, OSUSEC’s Cyber Defense team competed in NCCDC, the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. The competition required us to secure and administer a handful of networks full of virtual machines hosting common business services, as well as continuously respond to IT request tickets and deliver professional reports to supervisors. Students are tested not only on their cybersecurity skills, but also on their time management and interpersonal skills.</description></item><item><title>2023-2024 OSUSEC Officers Selected</title><link>https://osusec.org/blog/2023-2024-osusec-officers-selected/</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://osusec.org/blog/2023-2024-osusec-officers-selected/</guid><description>This year’s elections were intense; every candidate was subjected to memes, music, and whiteboard art that led to a lot of laughs and a lot of great people elected.

Last night, I covered cybersecurity in software development. I talked about how you can incorporate security into each stage of the Software Development Lifecycle, some examples of how that has gone wrong in real life software projects, and the different mitigations that have come about in an effort to control memory corruption attacks (an example of improper input handling).

Welcome to the second half of Fall term! Tonight we hosted NetSPI: Senior Director Karl Fosaaen and Security Consultant (and former club member) Michael Jereza. They walked us through penetration testing as a career, what work is like at NetSPI, their NetSPI University program, and some entertaining stories from their pentesting work! We hope you had fun and walked away with an enthusiasm for pentesting. If you enjoyed this, definitely think about getting involved with our CPTC team!</description></item><item><title>Meeting Notes 10/19</title><link>https://osusec.org/blog/meeting-notes-10-19/</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://osusec.org/blog/meeting-notes-10-19/</guid><description>Howdy hackers! Hope your week 4 is going well. Tonight Cameron introduced Reversed Engineering (“Rev”) challenges and how to pwn them. Rev and pwn challenges are a staple of CTF competitions, and we covered a few of the most critical tools in your arsenal for approaching them. We also walked you through an introductory pwn challenge called rev01 that is hosted on our CTF Practice Range. We hope you were able to walk away with some new skills.</description></item><item><title>Meeting Notes 10/12</title><link>https://osusec.org/blog/meeting-notes-10-12/</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Oct 2022 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://osusec.org/blog/meeting-notes-10-12/</guid><description>Howdy hackers! Thanks to everyone who showed up tonight! Tonight we introduced the NSA Codebreaker Challenge, and held a work party.
