Biweekly hands-on session
Come Hack
Led by Moussa Toure. A recurring, hands-on cybersecurity meeting focused on learning how real systems are attacked, defended, investigated, and analyzed — guided learning plus practical exercises on cyber ranges and custom-built labs.
Offensive Security
- Web application hacking
- Linux & Windows system exploitation
- Standalone target machines
- Chained attack paths
- Active Directory environments
- Enterprise security
- AI-assisted operations
Defensive & Analysis
- Blue-team exercises
- Security analysis
- Phishing analysis
- Log and artifact analysis
- Incident investigation concepts
- OSINT techniques
- Detection and defensive thinking
Cyber ranges we use
Bring: a laptop is recommended but not mandatory; workstations are available.
Ground rules: practice only against systems we own, systems provided for training, or systems we have permission to test — responsible skill-building, never unauthorized attacks.
First session: Thursday, September 17, 2026 · 12:15 – 1:15 PM · Woodland Building 132A (in person). Biweekly afterwards.
