Hello everyone!
The Irish bunnies are having an info session about their upcoming CTF to make it easy for people to participate.

The idea of a CTF is to find a “flag” which is basically data. The “flag” is hidden in ways. Solve puzzles to get the flag. We will help you every step along the way, all you have to do is show up. We will provide you with the knowledge and resources to get you started in CTFs. No teams needed, just show up and we'll set you up.

This Wednesday at 6 pm there's an Intro to Capture the Flag Workshop by the Irish Bunnies. They will also hold an actual CTF competition every three weeks. Join their discord to participate: https://discord.gg/zyjfYrg

What is a CTF?
Capture the Flags are like hackathons/datathons, but for cyber security nerds. They are competitions that revolve around hacking, code breaking and puzzle solving.

The first Datathon of the semester has started and people are looking for teams.

If you are interested in participating in the hackathon, today (9/14/20) at 5 pm do the following:

> Join the discord chat here: https://discord.gg/kuWHpm
> Answer the poll under the #polls channel (pictured attached at the end)
> Once you answer it, click on the three dots next to the poll and look for people who want to participate but can't find a team
> From here, you can message those people directly or ask people in #datathon_recruitment if they would like to form a team.

I will be there at 5 if anyone needs any guidance on where to start, what to learn and how to tackle the datathon.

Best,

CM - President
