Assignments for Competition (CCDC)

mvnsg — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:08:31 +0000

As of now we have started to pick out a few different focal points for the upcoming competitions. Tenative assignments have been made, mostly at random if you weren’t around or vocal I picked one for you, it’s up to you to change it or figure out what else you can do.

Linux- Jim/Jason

Samba- Jake / Tom

Windows Server- Nick/Chris

IDS- Snort- Joe/ Jason

IDS- BSD- Evin / Tom

CVS server- Jake/Tom

Exchange- Joe/ Rob

For now that’s all I can assign as that was told to me/ i wrote down, i may have missed or confused some or added people who had nothing to do with it, but like i said its a tenative list. Next week we’ll break down into groups and work on researching our topics, those with major questions can then come to me and I’ll work on a having a series of presentations by various professors and adjuncts focused on that particular subject. Any questions? ask Tom he will be glad to answer them. Cheers!

Netriders this Wednesday!

mvnsg — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:35:14 +0000

Hey guys just a reminder that the NetRiders competition is this week! If you haven’t already be sure to link you and your partners’ names together on the website and get ready to do your best at the competition! Good luck to all of you! That said this next week will begin our actual security focus for the club so those who were sitting out can definately participate this week, as far as I can tell food will not be provided this time (sorry for the false advertising but funds are not as limitless as they had been presented apparently.) Regardless we might have an after party this week location tbd. Hope to see you all there!

If you know a girl, bring her too! We will have food again (Peppo’s was mentioned, great sandwiches) and we’re still waiting on the logos for the group to be finished. But we have shirts ready, just need sizes for everyone. If you haven’t entered it yet, please get those to me, you can e-mail me at mvccnsg@gmail.com.
