It’s been almost a month since the last CADS meeting. We’ve had a mix of school holidays, exam leave and exams. The Year 13s have also left CADS due to their A Levels and this year we only have 5 more sessions.
To get back into the swing of things, we decided to brainstorm ideas that we would like to learn next year. Here is a list of some of the things that we thought that we’d like to do in the next year (some of which we have decided on).
- Trip to a local cyber security company
- Learning Linux basics
- Pen testing
- CVI (cyber investigations on companies/teams)
- Presentation Skills
- Hashing and Encryption
- Raspberry Pi
- Personal Statement Writing
- CV Building
- Interview Skills
- Updating CADS (branding, website, advertising)
- More trips (GCHQ, National Crime Agency)
- History of Cyber Security
- More cool talks
- Networking (mapping, management, structure, ports and functions, pinholes)
- Traffic snooping and spoofing
- Internet and computer law
- How malware spreads today (modern threats with malware, e.g. power plants)
- Cyber Warfare
- Celebrities and Stalking (cyber risks and common sense online)
- Touch typing
- Encryption and Tor
- Building Networks
- More trips
- Local careers fair
Apart from the list, we had a discussion about the new students who would be joining next year and some other internal stuff.
