info session for Batman's Kitchen: Computer Security

We are Batman’s Kitchen, the UW competition team, and we are looking for new members!

Interested in learning about computer security issues and/or being part of a competition team?  We hold regular meetings, practice breaking/hacking stuff, learn about the latest security topics, and compete in CTF
competitions throughout the year.  You don't need any prior experience to join the team -- all you need is an interest in security and/or CTFs plus a willingness to learn.  Our group is an interdisciplinary group of students from CSE, EE, iSchool, pre-engineering, and other UW departments.  We collaborate with the other two UW branches (Tacoma and Bothell) and organizations/companies in the Seattle area.

Our Info Meeting is next Tuesday, October 6th, CSE building rm691, at 6:00pm.  We welcome everyone.  At the Info Meeting we'll talk about the topics we'll cover in the coming year (e.g., lockpicking, IoT, privacy, etc.), the type of competitions we do, hands-on labs, local hacker groups, and Puget Sound resources.

Even if you can't make it to the meeting, sign up for our mailing list at
