Students attending member universities qualify for member price.
This one-of-a-kind event is a hands-on, experiential Capture the Flag (CTF) coupled with real-time training on the tools and operating systems needed to successfully work through each challenge. Six different modules allow students to learn the fundamentals of hacking tools, techniques and methodologies and use open-source tools to fire off live attacks on networked systems in real time.
The guided CTF is hosted on the Michigan Cyber Range, the nation’s largest unclassified training cyber range, and will allow students to perform live scans and exploits with no danger of leakage onto production networks. Each student will have a unique experience based on the methodologies they deploy and the systems they target, but students can expect to learn and deploy the concepts below. Participants that want to work at their own pace are encouraged to do so!
