    Interested in practicing your ethical hacking and penetration testing skills. Each week we go through a series of exercises in TryHackMe, Hack the Box or maybe HyperQube where we do network or web application penetration testing. This is a relatively faster-paced course that is live-streamed on our youtube channel. This course requires an internet connection and free access to tryhackme, hack the box or hyperqube. Classes are held on zoom but the information in the class is distributed through our teams platform which requires membership (free) unless you want to support the org. This is our weekly hacking labs that we do on Friday nights. Time may change after the instructor is identified.

    Weekly OSCP Study Group working towards earning the OSCP

    Learners who complete the course and pass the exam will earn the OffSec Certified Professional (OSCP) certification which requires holders to successfully attack and penetrate various live machines in a safe lab environment. The OSCP is considered to be more technical than other ethical hacking certifications and is one of the few that requires evidence of practical penetration testing skills.

    **TryHackMe Tuesdays** is a weekly workshop series designed to provide participants with hands-on cybersecurity skills and real-world experience using the TryHackMe platform. Held every Tuesday, these workshops guide attendees through interactive, practical exercises that cover various cybersecurity topics, such as penetration testing, network security, web application security, and more. Each session is focused on a specific TryHackMe challenge or learning path, allowing participants to work through scenarios that simulate actual cyber threats and defenses. With the support of experienced facilitators, participants can ask questions, discuss strategies, and collaborate with peers in a supportive environment. By the end of the series, attendees will have significantly enhanced their technical abilities, problem-solving skills, and confidence in handling cybersecurity challenges, making them better prepared for real-world situations and career opportunities in the field.
