The US Cyber Challenge is back with another exciting Cyber QuestsLinks to an external site. Competition where your students, colleagues and friends can test their skills against others throughout the Nation in this FREE online series of quests.
Each quest features an artifact for analysis, along with a series of quiz questions. Some quests focus on a potentially vulnerable sample webserver as the artifact, challenging participants to identify its flaws using vulnerability analysis skills. Other quests are focused around forensic analysis, packet capture analysis and more. The quests have varying levels of difficulty and complexity with some quests geared toward beginners while others include more intermediate and ultimately advanced material.
The FREE competition is OPEN NOW – closing on Thursday, November 30th.
Many instructors utilize this competition as an exciting homework project for their students, a way to test their students’ skills, as extra credit or general fun for the classroom. Some professors have used this competition to pit their students against other colleagues’ students. Participants enjoy the competition while learning and having fun – some make it onto the National Leader Scoreboard!
As an added bonus, top performers will be invited to the 2024 summer regional USCC Virtual Cyber Camps where attendees receive SANS-instructor led training, participate in job fairs, interact with industry leaders and compete in a highly competitive CTF. Winning teams advance to National Championships in the Fall 2024.
