Operating through Messiah&#8217;s Computer Science Club, the group held the University&#8217;s first CTF event. CTF&#8217;s, or Capture-The-Flag events, are cybersecurity competitions that develop participants&#8217; hacking and problem-solving skills. The challenges involve finding a random string of characters, referred to as the flag, hidden inside a computer system. For this event, the competition involved cryptography, breaking password hashes, using basic Kali Linux tools, and more. The event took place in Messiah&#8217;s new, state of the art <a href=\"https:\/\/www.messiah.edu\/info\/23821\/cyber_center\">Cyber Center<\/a>, and the WiCyS club partnered with the Games Club to provide food, a fun atmosphere, and a great community. They hope to continue these events each semester as the club grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"574\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/228fbd63-faad-4ee8-9279-49abc3fec670-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/11\/228fbd63-faad-4ee8-9279-49abc3fec670-1.jpg 574w, https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/11\/228fbd63-faad-4ee8-9279-49abc3fec670-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/d0ce6efe-15d7-45b3-9600-6e08ff22afd0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/11\/d0ce6efe-15d7-45b3-9600-6e08ff22afd0.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/11\/d0ce6efe-15d7-45b3-9600-6e08ff22afd0-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.messiah.edu\/csblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/11\/d0ce6efe-15d7-45b3-9600-6e08ff22afd0-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Messiah\u2019s WiCyS (Women in Cybersecurity) student chapter started an exciting new tradition in October!
