Thanks to overwhelming interest, we've outgrown our old room. Join us in our new home, the Auditorium (Room 4080).
The Cyber Knights are the CCRI Cyber Club. We are a student community dedicated to building technical skills, fostering belonging and excitement, and providing a clear pathway to professional employment.
We are currently the largest club at CCRI.
We foster a collaborative community that is accessible to students of all skill levels. We want to meet everyone wherever they are and bring them along.
We deliberately aim to make learning technology less intimidating by focusing on social connections and varying meeting formats instead of only having lectures.
Our focus is on delivering practical, hands-on experience that supplements classroom instruction. We help members build a foundational "toolkit" of basic skills essential for diverse cybersecurity and IT fields, such as cryptography, forensics, network traffic analysis, and web exploitation.
We develop fundamental skills through:
Our central mission is ensuring successful employment. We facilitate professional success by combining academic credentials, industry certifications, relevant experience, and networking opportunities.
We actively connect members to the industry:
Stay updated with club news, meeting recaps, and member achievements.
We're building a comprehensive blog to share club updates, meeting recaps, member spotlights, competition results, and institutional memory. This will serve as our central hub for chronological content and community engagement.
Planned features:
Learn how to install Linux distributions using USB drives or virtual machines.
Boot directly from a USB drive to try any Linux distribution without installing.
Tip: Start tapping the key about twice per second right after pressing the power button. This is normal for most brands.
Run any Linux distribution safely in a virtual machine using VirtualBox.
Note: You may adjust settings later to optimize performance on your hardware. (The initial choice of 1 core is intentional, as some CPUs exhibit instability when more cores are configured).
Upcoming meetings and events managed via the club Google Calendar.
We offer a variety of meetings to appeal to a broad range of members.
Essential tools and competitions for learning cybersecurity—whether you're just starting with CTF basics or sharpening your skills in advanced challenges.
