This past weekend, the Northeastern Collegiate Cyber Defense Team sent some of the members down to Chicago to participate in the Cyberforce competition. I was one of the students sent to this competition.
We ended up placing 9th out of 107 teams. Pretty solid result! It was not quite as I had imagined; I expected to mostly be defending my machine (I was in charge of the DC), but it was much more based on solving anomalies (basically ctf challenges) and solving forensics-type challenges (“Red Team just got into your PLC server, what did they do and how did they get in?”).
Despite the fact that it was not what I expected, it was fun and I’d love to go back next year. I still am quite unexperienced with Windows security but I am trying my best to learn as much as I can, especially before CCDC!
This upcoming weekend (Nov 11 and 12) is the CPTC competition. I’m excited for what’s to come.
