🔴 1. UBLOCKDOWN — URGENT, SIGNUPS CLOSE FRIDAY 📅 Competition: Saturday, Oct 24 If you want in, you MUST sign up by Friday. Spots are capped at two 6-person teams, so drop your name or DM me ASAP. Do not sit on this, once it’s full it’s full. Even if you’re doing Plinko, do this one too. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟦 2. OPERATION: HORIZON’S EDGE — NCRC-U Collegiate CTF 📅 Oct 19 to Oct 23 | 🧑‍💻 Jeopardy-style CTF (30 hours, all virtual) You can play in teams of 2 to 6. Each person still registers and logs in with their own account, but you work the challenges together as a team. 🗓️ The plan: we’re going to form teams and kick this off together at the Tuesday club meeting on the 20th, then keep running it as long as we can. Come through, grab a team, and let’s rack up flags. ⚠️ Register TODAY so you’re ready (orientation is the 16th, window opens the 19th). Challenge areas: network recon, web security, credentials, forensics, cryptography, reverse engineering, Windows/Linux. U.S. citizenship required. 💼 Why you should actually do this: I talked to the organizers at the career fair, and people who compete are getting interviews. That is a real opportunity, take it. 🔗 Register: https://forms.osi.apps.mil/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=D9fm-kuVEUiStgUw1vhMQ3VG59pVFWZNq32QTUjTerdUM1cxMDNHWVBOUjA3QTBFTE9OR0tWUzNGNS4u&origin=QRCode&route=shorturl ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟢 3. CPTC — Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition 📅 Road trip to Augusta, GA — leave Fri Nov 6, compete Sat Nov 7 This is the pen testing competition. Your team acts as a real pen test firm hired to assess a client’s network, then write a professional report. One of the best things you can put on a resume if you want offensive security or consulting. 👥 Team: 6 players + 2 alternates. We currently need 3 more members and 1 more alternate. If you want to break into pen testing, this is the one. DM me if you’re interested! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Bottom line: DM me with which ones you want in on. UBlockdown is the hard deadline (Friday) so handle that first, and register for the CTF today so we can hit the ground running Tuesday.

🛶 Post-Plinko Kayaking Trip: Monday 10/19 Since Plinko is Sat and Sun in Orlando, a few of us are going kayaking Monday the 19th at King’s Landing in Apopka (about 30 min from Orlando). It’s a self-guided paddle on Rock Springs Run, crystal clear spring water, looks super chill. ⚠️ Book your spot online ahead of time. They only hold a couple kayaks for walk-ins and they sell out, so don’t plan on just showing up. How to book: Go here: https://www.kingslandingfl.com/daypaddlekayakrentals Hit Book Now Pick Monday, Oct 19 and the time slot we agree on (see below) Prices (4 hour rental): Single kayak: $54 Double kayak (2 people): $74 Paddleboard: $74 Canoe (3 people): $64 Locker: $10 (optional) Double kayaks and canoes are cheaper per person if you split with someone, so pair up if you want. Good to know: They close at 5pm and anything booked after 1pm won’t get the full 4 hours, so we should go earlier in the day Return shuttle isn’t included, it’s a paddle out and back to the launch What time works for you? React below: 🌅 Morning (8:30 to 10) ☀️ Late morning (10 to 12) 🕐 Early afternoon (12 to 1) (we should probably do the late morning one) Drop a ✅ if you’re coming so we know headcount.

🌐 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 🔥
