Just to recap the meeting we had today (11/4), we have decided on a distribution to ues for our tiger boxes. We are going to be using Ubuntu 9.10 as the base os. If you are unfamiliar with this operating system, or new to setting up virtual machines, come to the next meeting (11/11 at 4:30 in East Hall 105) and we'll help you get going. This meeting is informal and not required if you already have an Ubuntu VM setup, but if you want to come help others that would be great.
Download Ubuntu 9.10 (the 32-bit version will work fine).
We also went over a few of the Hack This Site (www.hackthissite.org) tutorials during the meeting.

Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) is is a two
day event and the first competition that specifically focuses on the
operational aspect of managing and protecting an existing "commercial"
network infrastructure. CCDC provides a unique opportunity for students
and industry professionals to interact and discuss many of the security
and operational challenges the students will soon face as they enter
the job market.
There is a group that is meeting twice a week to prepare for the
competition which will be held in March of 2009. If you are interested
in participating or just learning, please contact Scott Paulsen at
