🌐 GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 📢 CYBER CLUB — THIS WEEK 🦉🔐 Busy, fun week ahead — meetings both nights, two competitions, and a practice image to grab tonight. Read through 👇 🪟 TONIGHT — Tuesday Meeting | 5–7 PM | CM 22, Rm 125 (behind the library) Marcos is running a Windows session, walking through the built-in Windows tools he actually used in competition — Event Viewer, Task Manager, netstat, Local Users & Groups, Defender, and the Windows Firewall. We’ll pull it up live from our practice environment so you can see exactly how it looks in a real defensive scenario. Whether you’ve never touched this stuff or you’re comp-rostered, come hang and get hands-on. 💻 GRAB THE PRACTICE IMAGE — BEFORE TONIGHT We’re practicing on the Cincinnati Zoo image (Windows 10) so you can follow Marcos step by step. 📥 Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ai3vff_pS_rABc8hsnE_0uv08MOZiB1W/view 📋 Full image list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cdVHtk4w5JDJCYy-EO2_ycr0ZqMgUyjFOVDn5Y8eGVw/edit?gid=0#gid=0 Setup: download → unzip → double-click the .vmx to open it in VMware (install Workstation Player/Pro, or Fusion on Mac, first). If it won’t launch: VMware → Open a Virtual Machine → pick the .vmx. Ping the chat if it won’t boot and we’ll fix it before the meeting. 🎯 Thursday Meeting | 5–7 PM | CM 22, Rm 125 — HORSE PLINKO PRACTICE LAB Scheduling note: Zach Bright’s talk moved to Oct 27, so Thursday is now a hands-on Plinko prep lab. We’ll run practice images, cover scripting basics, and — since our WRCCDC env with the scoring engine is live — I’ll stage a real attack so you can watch defense happen in real time. Easily one of our most useful sessions. Come even if you’re not competing — this is how you actually learn it. 🏆 TWO COMPETITIONS — big opportunities: Horse Plinko (HPCC4) — this weekend @ UCF. Beginner-friendly cyber defense comp. Great first competition if you’ve been wanting to try one. UBlockdown — defensive comp, run right here in our lab room, 6-person teams, and I want two teams. 👇 🚨 URGENT — UBLOCKDOWN SIGNUPS CLOSE FRIDAY 🚨 If you want in, you MUST sign up by Friday — competition is Sat Oct 24. Spots are limited to two 6-person teams, so drop your name / DM me ASAP. Don’t sit on this — once it’s full, it’s full. Even if you’re doing Plinko, do this one too. 👉 All prep and environment details, are in the competition chat — head there if you’re competing (or even thinking about it). 📅 Speaker lineup: Zachary Bright (ADT) → Oct 27 · Kyle Ryan (Red Team Mgr, NextEra) & Delia Drumm (Microsoft) later this month. Questions? Drop them here or DM me. Let’s have a great week 🔥

📢 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.
