Just recently my school created an “Information Security Club”. It was mainly focused on teaching, and expanding student knowledge in the Information Security field, as well as introducing many to the hacking culture. The club recently decided to participate in the NCL (National Cyber League) which is an ongoing virtual training ground for collegiate students to develop, practice, and validate their cybersecurity skills using next-generation high-fidelity simulation environments.
The NCL is a CTF (Capture The Flag) based wargame where students (either teams or solo), compete against each other for points by exploiting security vulnerabilities. The NCL is a beginner based CTF that introduces students to the concept of CTF, while teaching and allowing practice of hacking skills.
During the time this club was created, I taught many students the basics of Information Security, as well as the basics of hacking. Though recently, I stumbled across overthewire.org, a wargaming site that allows you to practice your “elite hacking skillz”; and have been overly obsessed with it. I directed many of my students to this site, and asked them to start with “Bandit”. This was aimed to help them learn the basics of Linux and its commands; which we all know is an essential skill in the Pentest Field, and IT itself! Because let’s be honest… not a lot of IT Professionals have Linux skills!
