CCDC is an experiential cybersecurity competition that simulates real-world enterprise environments. Members will work collaboratively to secure, monitor, and maintain a network of systems while actively defending against live "red team" attacks that attempt to compromise services and data. In addition to technical defense operations, participants are required to complete business-oriented tasks such as making and submitting incident reports, maintaining service availability, and responding to tasks that ask you to install software, implement firewall rules, and more.https://speedacm.org/sigs/cyberdefense/Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://speedacm.org/sigs/cyberdefense/Calendar We go over topics such as hardening Linux and Windows, best computer practices, and Over the Wire exercises. One of our main focuses is the CCDC team competition. The group also gets involved with Capture the Flag competitions like the NCL competition. This has 11 categories and the goal is to complete the challenges to find a hidden “flag.” Join the #cyber-defense channel in our discord for more info!https://speedacm.org/sigs/gamedev/Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://speedacm.org/sigs/gamedev/Calendar In the Game Development SIG we make games! In our meetings we help each other code, design, and create to learn the game development process and hopefully have a fun project to show for it. No experience is needed, and if you’re interested in learning coding, game design and game art this is the place! We are currently working on a top-down twin stick shooter within the Godot engine.https://speedacm.org/about/sigs/Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://speedacm.org/about/sigs/View on Google Drivehttps://speedacm.org/sigs/overview/Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://speedacm.org/sigs/overview/The ACM has several Student Interest Groups to get involved with: Cyber Defense Cyber Defense is our SIG dedicated to cyber security. We discuss security topics, host hands-on training, and participate in competitions. SLUG SLUG is our Student Linux User Group. Meetings focus on spreading the gospel of Linux, learning something new, and getting a little nerdy. Game Dev Game Development is our SIG to learn how to make games! This is a fun club to get started in game programming, game design, game art, or advance your skills.https://speedacm.org/sigs/slug/Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://speedacm.org/sigs/slug/Calendar Linux runs the supercomputers and servers of our society. Student Linux User Group (SLUG) is where we discuss Linux and the Free and Open Source Software used with it. No prior Linux knowledge is necessary to be a part of the SIG. Join #slug for more info!
