C3: Cylab Cybersecurity Challenges

Cylab is hosting cybersecurity coaching sessions!

Cybersecurity coaching sessions have been given for a couple of years now. Initially, its purpose was to train students for the CyberSecurity Challenge Belgium, but instead of focussing towards one competition, we opted for more general cybersecurity training sessions.

Steganography and hidden information extraction from audio files and images

Network scanning and analysis with Nmap, Wireshark, Burpsuite etc.
