Where: Through the amazing advent of online meeting software, we'll be
able to meet anywhere! Join us on Zoom, link will be revealed after an RSVP

When: Fridays at 6PM

Our little event is still in its infant stages. We are trying to make something that people can join when ever and have any level of obligation. It is experiencing some changes from when we first started. How exciting!

Thanks to the input of other members we will be switching to a less guided approach and more of a Show and Tell type style. If you are new to CTFs please by all means come along, we'll have a section for beginners and have discussions outside of the Friday meetings you can become a part of.

If you are a seasoned vet or have a project you're working on you're encouraged to share but not required by any means. Good sharing content ideas include interesting CTFs you've completed, unique solutions to old issues, and CTFs that have you stumped. We'll be happy to lend a hand or brain.

This event comes to you at no charge! However, donations are encouraged. We would not be here without the All Hands Active makerspace which operates on donations. All donations go to operating costs and improvements to the space. Donation link below.

Thank you!

FAQ:
What is a CTF?
A Capture The Flag event is one where a system or application is presented to you, using various skills and techniques (sometimes vulnerabilities and exploits) you must retrieve a "Flag" or a string of characters showing you completed the task. Be creative! There's tons of ways to do the same thing!

Do I need to know "IT" or "programming" to do them?
A basic understanding of technology definitely is required but if you're not an IT Pro or if this is your first foray into anything of this nature don't worry! This is to make you get familiar. Being a little lost is part of the journey.

Do I need any paid software?
You shouldn't need any additional software if you have a working computer. MOST operating systems have some way to do just about everything needed in a CTF

What if I don't understand or fall behind?
I am hoping to record a number of sessions. We are also available in the All Hands Active chat, a link to which will be provided during the event. Join ANY Time and reach out to Ryan, he'll try his best to catch you up.
