The Twente Hacking Squad (THS) is a team of UT students & PhD students interested in computer security. We meet every Monday from 19:00 to 21:00, during which we try to improve our hacking skills. In our meetings we occasionally give workshops where we share our hacking expertise with each other in various areas such as:
During the spring semester of 2022, we organize weekly CTF training sessions every Monday 19:00-21:00 in Spiegel 3 and can also be joined online*. These training sessions are open to all students from the University of Twente, but a background in computer science is highly recommended. We aim to have these sessions in a hybrid format, but, depending on the rules and regulations regarding COVID-19, we may have to fall back on online workshops. Below, we give an overview of the planned workshops.
*See the THS slack channel for the Zoom link to join.
