Upcoming Events

Thursday, September 20th at 6pm – Capture the Flag(CTF) with Daniel Likarish

The Boulder chapter's June meeting will be held at the Aerstone offices on 17th and Pearl.

Welcome back from the summer hiatus!

OWASP Boulder resumes in September with a Capture the Flag (CTF) meeting. Next spring, SnowFROC 2013 will feature a CTF-style hacking competition organized by local volunteers. Come and share your CTF experience, ideas, and bad code. We will discuss tournament format, rules, and framework.

To kick-off the project, Professor Daniel Likarish of Regis University, organizer of the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (RMCCDC), will share his experiences in building a CTF tournament from scratch.

Although this meeting is oriented on developing a CTF tournament, we will discuss a variety of other current events.

He is Director of the Colorado Front-range Center on Information Assurance Studies.

He has installed and is calibrating a Radio Telescope for use as a K-Collegiate teaching instrument and directs the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. He is the recipient of various state, industry and federal grants and awards.

About the RMCCDC: Seven teams representing Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico attended the competition consisting of a two-day scenario-driven event with teams responsible for recovery and maintenance of business services, processes and defense of the network after a gaming company was successfully attacked.
