NCAE CyberGames

What an absolute roller coaster this weekend. The EWU Cyber Team and I competed in the regional NCAE Cyber Games, looking to win with an entirely new team. Our goal was to start the journey toward snagging another national title. Over an intense but thrilling 8 hours, we flipped a 500-point deficit into a 300-point lead, tackling server setups, cracking capture-the-flag challenges, and bouncing back from a series of breaches that may or may not have been remedied through a dance video, all while competing against 11 other teams. Seeing us rally from behind to snag the win was beyond cool. Huge shoutout to my teammates for the awesome teamwork, as well as to our coaches and those who made it all possible. Looking forward to what we can pull off next. On to the national championships - Go Eags!

Learned alot this Saturday at the NCAE CyberGames and was awarded the "Most Improved Teammate" award. This was a great learning experience for me, especially with setting up DNS servers.

?? Reflecting on an Incredible Journey at the NCAE Cyber Games ?? I am thrilled to share that over the weekend our team, SU Cyber Oranges representing Syracuse University, recently participated in the NCAE Cyber Games where we secured 7th place in our first-ever participation in the Northeast Region. As the captain of our team, it was a remarkable experience working with my amazing teammates through this intense competition. Massive thanks to NCAE CyberGames for providing us with the opportunity to practice our skills and learn so much about the industry. The competition, blending capture the flag (CTF) with red versus blue infrastructure challenges, pushed us to our limits. Despite facing relentless attacks from the red team, our teamwork and determination shone through as we defended our systems! It was an intense yet immensely rewarding experience as we learned a lot about DNS servers, FTP, setting up routers, SSH login and more. Grateful for the opportunity and excited to participate again soon! #Cybersecurity #NCAECyberGames #Teamwork #Hackathon

I had a fantastic time at the NCAE regional cyber games this weekend! ?? This was my first time participating in an event like this, and I learned a ton! Being a part of the IIT 3 CTF team was awesome. ?? Proud to share that our team secured the highest score in CTF for the entire event! Special thanks to David Arnold for organizing, and immense gratitude to our exceptional team captain Abhijeet Pawar, and my amazing teammates Vishnu Thampuran, Ashish Sivaiah, Jerin Gige Varghese, and several others who made it all possible. Excited for more challenges ahead!
