This Friday, the Swedish National Hacking Team qualification round kicks off! 🚀 The top participants from the qualifier will advance to a final competition at Bosön, Lidingö, where the national team will be selected. The team will then represent Sweden in the European Cyber Security Challenge 2025, which this year will be held in Warsaw, Poland. 🌍

The competition will follow a CTF format, where you solve various challenges to earn points and climb the scoreboard. The challenges consist of programs and systems that you need to analyze and exploit to find flags! 🚩

Categories:

• Web - Hack vulnerable web applications 🌐
• Reverse Engineering - Analyze and understand programs 🕵️
• Pwn - Exploit binary vulnerabilities, e.g., buffer overflows 💥
• Crypto - Break weak cryptographic implementations (lots of math!) 🔑
• Misc - Everything else that doesn't fit into the other categories 🦜

Even if you've never played a CTF before, there will be some easier challenges to get you started. 🧸 If you've participated in dJulkalendern before, you'll recognize the format since the challenges follow the same structure as the windows. If you want to start practicing now, there are plenty of past challenges in Säkerhets-SMs problem archive.

📅 When? Friday, February 21 at 18:00 - Sunday, February 23 at 18:00

📍 Where? https://ctf.snht.se

🎯 Who? Anyone interested in cybersecurity. If you want to try out the CTF without competing in the qualifier, you can register in the "Open" category. You must be a Swedish citizen to be able to qualify.

Earlier this year THS decided to limit our access to the garbage room. At the same time they also introduced a cleaning schedule for the garbage station behind META, where we usually throw away glass. Now it is our turn to keep it clean week 8 (17th-23rd). This doesn't mean we have to keep it squeaky clean but it is our responsiblity to keep the garbage inside of the garbage station and not outside of it. 😊

Due to issues with room reservations, the room for An Apply To Mottagningen-DM has been changed from Sektionsrummet to D41. I'm sorry that this information came out so close to the meeting time!

Sincerely, Emma Ericsson

The agenda for An Apply To Mottagningen-DM before Revisions-SM is now available. The DM will discuss, among other things, changes to PM, motions and propositions.

The agenda is available in the meeting folder on Google drive together with the summons, the decision protocol and the discussion protocol.

The agenda was changed before the meeting.
