NSL Hacks - UMassCTF Review!

A monthly meeting for those interested in learning more about cyber security, hacking, penetration testing, reverse engineering, and embedded security. If you're interested in cyber security, come make some friends and learn some new things!

Last month we forced you to struggle on your own in the hopes that those struggles would make you turn your brain on and grow some new wrinkles. This month we'll be reviewing those pesky problems that gave you such headaches in the UMassCTF 2026 event! We'll go over how to solve some of the problems and learn a little bit more to help you solve bigger and badder problems in your next CTF.

There's also not one, not two, but three concurrent CTFs on the night of the meetup if you're feeling exceptionally froggy:

• Break The Syntax CTF 2026
• DAMCTF 2026
• From Dusk Till Dawn Quals
• See: https://ctftime.org/event/list/?year=2026&online=1&format=1&restrictions=0&upcoming=true

=============================

Where do I park? / How do I get inside?
Parking: There is free street parking on N Ontario St. It is usually easy to find a spot after business hours or on weekends.
Getting inside: Once you park, head down the walkway, we are the long building in the back (see link for overhead directions)
