📢 FAU Cyber Club — Weekly Update Today (Tuesday) Marcos is leading a session on digital forensics using CyberDefenders. Come ready to learn! This Week: Get VMware Running 💻 We want everyone to have VMware set up on their laptop by end of week. Here's a full walkthrough in our Google Drive: 🔗 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14eUxIDHD3H20GsTWKQIqdx6new3lXv1vUyHbuZfpWfY/edit Thursday Lab Stuff! Linux and CTF practice in preparation for Saturday's competition. Don't miss it. --- 🏟️ SFISSA Village — This Weekend We have a village at SFISSA on Friday and Saturday. Great chance to rep the club and network with people from Microsoft, IBM, and more. If you can make it either day, DM me so we can coordinate. Code for anyone who didn't register yet: FAUHTF26 5000 T Rex Ave, Boca Raton, FL should get you there. It is running from 8 AM - 5 PM (Friday/Saturday) --- 🔑 Lab Swipe Access Some members have already been approved for swipe access to the lab. If you want in, send me your Z number and I'll get you submitted for approval. --- 🤝 ShellHacks — FIU Hackathon ShellHacks reached out to bring FAU Cyber Club on as a community partner. It's free, open to all skill levels, and has a sponsor fair with Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Base44. They're also working on a bus from FAU. I'm still ironing out the details with their team but sign up now — it's a great opportunity regardless. --- 🌟 SHPE National Convention (Shoutout) Some club members are heading to the SHPE 2026 National Convention. Early-bird deadlines are coming up fast. SHPE brings in 200+ companies including Fortune 500s, so the networking alone is worth it. If you're interested, travel may be covered — DM me if you plan to apply so I can get a headcount. Join the convention groupchat: https://chat.whatsapp.com/I0WWq5bUDVLBKKSa4kDw8J Interest form: https://forms.gle/c7uXVWeb5Dnn54gDA --- 📅 Coming Soon Better competition schedule, more guest speakers, a data center tour, and a lot more fun stuff on the way — stay tuned.
