Hi all,

Please find the following Call For Participation for this interesting opportunity.

============================================

The International Cyber Security – Center of Excellence (INCS-CoE) is delighted to invite students to participate in its 3rd international, Country-to-Country (C2C) Capture the Flag (CTF) competition. This is part of a five-year academic plan to host cybersecurity competitions in five different countries. C2C will extend past experiences and lessons learned from the successful Cambridge2Cambridge CTF, with its global vision to entice thousands of people worldwide to study cybersecurity at the university level. C2C is an exciting opportunity for students to work together as international teams to solve interesting CTF challenges, while learning new skills, socializing, and promoting international collaboration and friendship.

C2C CTF 2022, organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will take place online. The organizing committee of C2C 2022 invites enrolled students (at UG/Grad/PhD level) from universities that are based in the UK, USA, Japan, Israel, France and Australia to apply to participate. Through a qualifying process, students will be selected to compete individually in the qualifiers event on April 3, 2022. After passing the qualifiers, students will be organized into teams of five from different universities to encourage international academic collaboration. These teams will compete in the virtual finals event on August 1st, 2022.

As part of the competition, we will hold webinars that will include talks and discussions on CTF topics and related cybersecurity issues.

We intend to create diverse teams for the competition. We aim to select competitors from a broad range of backgrounds, nationalities, languages, genders, experiences, and cybersecurity skills. We seek motivated and resourceful participants who enjoy a tough intellectual challenge in a cooperative international context -- we are not merely looking at experts who have won other hacking competitions.

Please publicize this exciting opportunity to your students. They can apply at: <u> https://c2c-ctf-2022.mit.edu/ </u>

Important dates:
• March 14, 2022 – Registration Deadline

Remote Enrolment Declaration Form

Posted by Uzma Maroof Sunday 13 February 2022, 05:03:49 PM, last modified Wednesday 16 February 2022, 02:08:16 PM.

Hi all,

We are aware that many of you are enrolled remotely. However, we yet have not received any declaration. Please note that if you are remotely enrolled you are required to sign and submit remote enrollment declaration available at https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/mod/assign/view.ph... . Please see following notice for details.

Cheers,

uzma

===============================

We realize that some of the students want to enroll this course remotely. In case you can visit the campus for device collection/return, you can ignore this notice.

In case you opt to enroll this course remotely, we anticipate that you could face certain challenges. The purpose of this notice is to highlight these challenges as well as to obtain declaration from you regarding your readiness to take up these challenges.

Possible challenges:

<u>1. Device Loan: </u>

Keeping in view the impact of Covid-19, labs are online this year too. To facilitate students, we will be lending following devices to each student:

1.1 Raspberry Pi 4 B basic kit

1.2 Bluetooth USB adaptor

1.3 External Wi-Fi wireless adaptor (mostly for Mac users)

However, if you are enrolled remotely, we expect you to either arrange these at your own expense OR prepay the postage.

Prepaid postage might be a more feasible option for those who are enrolled remotely but are residing in Australia. For instance, an Express Post Large Satchel (size L) for up to 5 kg from Australia Post or equivalent satchel from any other postal service can be purchased and sent to us. However, there can be large delays due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g. Covid-19).

<u>2. Programming Assignments:</u>

There will be a programming assignment to be done in a group of 2-3. Ideally we wish students to interact either virtually or following covid-safe guidelines. Students will require programming skills similar to what is required for COMP3331/9331. We anticipate that students working remotely will find this challenging.

<u>3. Time-zone:</u>

The course has multiple components that require working according to Sydney time-zone. This includes online labs sessions, quizzes, project demonstration etc. Failing to attend online sessions during the designated time for any of these component might result loosing all the marks assigned to that component.

If you wish to continue your remote enrolment, you are required to fill attached declaration form ( https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/mod/assign/view.ph... ), informing the LiC how you plan to cope with the above mentioned challenges.

Lab Group Selection on Moodle

Posted by Uzma Maroof Tuesday 08 February 2022, 05:52:46 PM.

Hi all,

In this course, all labs need to be attempted in groups. You are required to form groups of size 2. However, you can only choose a partner, who is enrolled in the same lab session as yours.

Lab group selection is now available on Moodle. Please follow these steps:

1. Visit course page on Moodle: https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/mod/groupselect/vi...
2. Go to "Lab group selection" activity
3. If your peer HAS NOT already chosen a group, Click "Become member of" for one of the groups, having the same prefix as your lab session, with count 0/2, Communicate your group name to your peer.
4. If your peer HAS already chosen a group, click "Become member of" for the same group.

Remember you can only choose a peer within same lab session.

The deadline for lab group selection is Monday, 14.02.22, 9:00 AM. After the deadline, students who fail to join groups will be assigned to random groups by the tutors.

Cheers,

Uzma.

Welcome message & Warmup activity

Posted by Uzma Maroof Monday 07 February 2022, 10:18:31 PM.

Welcome to COMP4337/9337- Securing Fixed & Wireless Networks, T1-2022, my name is Uzma Maroof and I am course admin for this course.

You can now log in to Webcms and read the detailed course outline at: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP9337/22T1/outline

Last year, impact of Covid had been enormous for all of us and had created a big challenge in course delivery. Therefore, we had moved all our labs to online environment and were able to execute successfully too. Unfortunately we are not out of it yet and plan to continue the same online mode this year too. While this course provides an in-depth introduction to a wide range of topics in the field of Fixed & Wireless Network Security, we will continue to have extensive hands-on lab sessions aimed at supporting problem-based learning to enhance student-learning experience.

To provide a consistent and coherent environment in running labs and final project across students, we will give a set of devices. A follow up email will provide a schedule for device collection. However, for certain components, it is important for us to check if the student's personal computer meets the hardware requirements in order for us to have equipment ready for loan.

Please log in to Moodle and perform the warmup activity: Hardware Compatibility Check (available at https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP9337/22T1/reso... & https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/course/view.php?id=65060#section-0 ), followed by a quick Survey (also available at Moodle: https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/mod/feedback/view.php?id=4463854 )

Important! Please fill out the form by the deadline 13.02.2022 2300 hrs, otherwise you will encounter issues when performing the labs and final project.

Eagerly waiting to work with you this term.

Uzma.
