What We Do

CTF Competitions

Our team NYUSEC competes in Capture The Flag competitions every weekend.

We play most of the CTFs listed on ctftime. We compete both virtually and in-person.

Hack Nights

Weekly workshops teaching cyber security topics, tools, and skills run by our sister organization and club, hackers@nyu.

Topics range from basic forensics and code analysis skills to advanced reverse engineering and exploits that are currently relevant and applicable in industry or academia.

Check out some of our previously recorded talks, and accompanying material in this repository.
