๐๐ป Cybersecurity Club Kicks Off Its Second Meeting of the Semester! ๐
On September 16, 2026, our Cybersecurity Club was back in action! ๐ก๏ธโก
This week's goal was to help members set up Docker on their personal computers, laying the foundation for building their own home lab servers. ๐ฅ๏ธ๐ณ Home labs provide a safe environment for students to develop hands-on cybersecurity and system administration skills.
To put those skills to the test, we worked with OWASP Juice Shop, a deliberately vulnerable web application packed with real-world security challenges and learning opportunities. ๐๐ Members explored vulnerabilities and began learning how cybersecurity professionals identify and address security issues.
As with any technology project, we encountered a few troubleshooting challenges along the way! ๐ ๏ธ๐ To keep everyone moving forward, members were able to use a preconfigured MacBook running Docker and OWASP Juice Shop while we worked through installation issues.
๐ Before our next meeting, members will receive step-by-step installation guides tailored to their operating systems so everyone can get their home labs up and running.
It's exciting to see our students gaining practical, hands-on experience and building the cybersecurity skills that employers value. ๐ช๐
