Our project is to take cyber security tasks that were created last semester and understand the complete ins and outs of the system. After the understanding, we will take this information and work on a conference for these tasks. This conference is being started from the ground up to understand the making of the conference as in a managerial point of view. We are accessing new ideas in marketing point of view as well as individual testing of the equipment with trial runs. The trial runs give us an excellent overview of a time line that we may expect.

We want to provide an opportunity for participants to learn the tool, not just the scenarios. Each specific tool from Nmap to Wireshark have an individual lesson plan for instructors to lead with. We created handouts after the practice-run to assist in guiding the focus of participants and cut down the amount of time they need to search online for common commands. The Cyber Security Open is a large effort by all members involved and will continue beyond this semester to be fully realized by the Fall 2015 Semester.
