📢 This Week at Cyber Club 📍 CM 22, Room 125 (behind the library) • 🕔 5–7 PM 🗓️ Tue 9/29: Career Fair Prep Resume reviews, certs worth knowing, and study resources. Bring your resume! Preps you for Thursday's career fair and makes the Oct 15 Tech Career Fair way easier. 🔗 Career Fair (Oct 1): https://app.joinhandshake.com/stu/career_fairs/65247 🔗 Tech Career Fair (Oct 15): https://app.joinhandshake.com/stu/career_fairs/65252 💼 NextEra is at both. NCCI is at Oct 1, so go to that one for their infrastructure job! 🗓️ Thu 10/1: CyberPatriot Practice Image Day 🛡️ We'll download CyberPatriot practice VMs and try to secure them. Great way to get good at defensive comps! Bring your laptop 💻 📊 Practice images: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cdVHtk4w5JDJCYy-EO2_ycr0ZqMgUyjFOVDn5Y8eGVw/edit?gid=735920429 💿 VMware Workstation Pro installers: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Lf7qnJSXf9q1KHE8IzPvySEZRyUHutfL To load an image: unzip it, then double-click the .vmx file (icon looks like a text file). It'll import straight into VMware. ⏩ Install VMware and download an image before Thursday so we can jump right in! 🍎 Mac users: VMware Workstation won't run on Macs, and M-series Macs usually can't run these images. Pair up with someone on Windows! 🗓️ Sat 10/3: WRCCDC Practice #1 🔥 Our first WRCCDC practice! Great prep for Horse Plinko (and it's gonna be harder). Max 12 people, but anyone who wants to try it, show up! 💻 We need VPNs on our computers, so we may do it at someone's house with laptops. I'll lend out my spare laptop so more people can play. 👉 Reply or DM me if you're in! Time + location TBA. 🏢 NCCI Data Center Tour: Tue, Oct 6 • 5:00–5:30 PM Huge thanks to [Wade Thomas](<https://www.linkedin.com/in/wadethomas/>;), Information Security & Operations Manager at NCCI, for making this happen! 📍 901 Peninsula Corp Cir, Boca Raton, FL 33487 🚗 Congress Ave exit off I-95, straight through the light, second entrance.

📢 Club Today — Starting at 6 PM! Heads up: today's meeting starts at 6 PM instead of 5 due to some scheduling stuff on my end. Sorry for the short notice! 🛡️ Still on for today: CyberPatriot Practice Images We're still doing practice images; come secure some VMs with us! Bring your laptop 💻 📊 Practice images: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cdVHtk4w5JDJCYy-EO2_ycr0ZqMgUyjFOVDn5Y8eGVw/edit?gid=735920429 💿 VMware installers: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Lf7qnJSXf9q1KHE8IzPvySEZRyUHutfL 👉 Which images to grab: 🐧 Linux: Age of Pirates 🪟 Windows: Jason *or* Santa's Workshop To load: unzip, then double-click the .vmx file (looks like a text file) — it imports straight into VMware. 🍎 Mac users: VMware Fusion can work, but it's iffy (especially on M-series Macs), so it's best to pair up with a Windows user. 🏢 Reminder: NCCI Data Center Tour — Next Tue, Oct 6 📝 PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM to lock your spot — spots are limited! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_l3btxSU0p6k9FXOoWLNUjA354A0cXY1pS4WTIWWJMlPrKg/viewform 🪪 Government-issued ID required (student ID is NOT enough). 🤔 Question: Do we want to do WRCCDC? We've got a ton of competitions lined up, so I want your take. WRCCDC would be good practice, but we'll have 3 more shots at practice before CCDC season starts, and honestly our setup isn't ideal for it right now (VPNs, hardware, etc.). So — worth doing anyway, or save our energy for the others? Drop your vote/thoughts below! 👇 If enough people are down, we'll make it happen.
