Shall we play a game?

Got into an argument the other day about which was the better Mathew Broderick movie. WarGames, Cable Guy, or Godzilla? So I said "I know how we'll settle this. We'll post it online and ask for a vote." So here we go: Raise your hand for which is your favorite. I'll even sweeten the pot by basing the next STL2600 + DC314 talk around the answer. So go on, everyone vote by raising your hand now... See? Clearly it's WarGames. As clear as it is that I'm making this whole scenario up. But a deal is a deal. So how are we basing the next talk on the movie WarGames? Are we going to live hack into a military supercomputer and nearly start World War III? Not exactly. I like very much not being in prison.

Instead, Zach's going to help us out by walking us through an online wargame called Bandit. Bandit is a beginner CTF game designed to teach the essential skills for competing in more advanced CTF games. We'll go through each challenge as a group, collaborate, and share our individual solutions to the problems. Bring a laptop to play along. You are also more than welcome to just sit and soak up the knowledge as well. Should be a fun night and something different from our usual discussions.
