Challenge Name: Secret Vault

As part of a top secret agency, you've been investigating an underground criminal organization. Finally, your hard work has paid off and you have found the login page for an encrypted secret vault.

The vault holds valuable digital information and a clue into how the organization is being financed. We need that information! Unfortunately, the only way to access the vault is by inputting the correct username and password.

Inspect this seemingly innocuous page to crack open the vault and seize the criminal assets.

Hey CyberDawgs,

Our weekly club meetings continue tonight from 7:10 PM to 9:00 PM. However, our meeting tonight will be slightly different from the previous ones. Our guest speaker will be joining us virtually on Webex instead of in-person, https://umbc.webex.com/meet/CyberDawgs. We will have ENG 231 open for those who want a space to meet-up and watch the meeting. However, feel free to join the meeting virtually if you want. 

Tonight, you will have the chance to hear our guest speaker share their experiences within cybersecurity criminal prosecution. This will be a unique opportunity to learn about a non-technical but critical part of cybersecurity.

As a reminder, this week's submissions for the CyberPaws CTF challenge will close at the start of tonight's meeting. Remember to submit your flag! Also, if you would like a hint, you can DM a board member to receive one. 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me on Discord (@truegritter) Finally, as always, Don't Do Crime.

We are excited to announce Mike Bann as our guest speaker for tonight. He is a longtime friend of the CyberDawgs and has red-teamed for CDE. He works as a cyber operator and will be presenting a beginner-friendly talk on Symbolic Execution with live demos. Tonight will be an excellent opportunity for you to learn first-hand knowledge/wisdom about an expanding cyber field. We look forward to seeing you all again tonight!

Also, don't worry if you have yet to be able to attend a meeting this semester. There is neither a "deadline to join" nor "required registration form" for this club. All you have to do is come to a weekly club meeting, and it is never too late in the semester to attend a club meeting.

As a reminder, submissions for the CyberPaws CTF challenge this week will close at the start of tonight's meeting. Remember to submit your flag on Discord! Also, if you would like a hint, you can DM a board member on Discord to receive one. 

As we move into October, I wish everyone continued luck and motivation this semester. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me (@truegritter on Discord) Finally, as always, Don't Do Crime.

Tonight, we will have another guest speaker who will introduce vulnerability research as a career in detail and expand on the topics from last week’s meeting on vulnerabilities, exploits, and bug bounties. You will want to be there to overflow your buffer of knowledge.
