In October, we have been informed that, Nik Amir was currently in the middle of organising an internal cybersecurity event for UNITEN under their "Pro-C UNITEN" club. As part of the pre-intro of the event, Amir with their team decided to run a series of beginner-friendly cybersecurity workshop for the students.

Naqib took part in this adventure by volunteered to be one of the speakers and shared a beginner-friendly about Web Exploitation in CTF. He shared some insightful contents to the audience based on his achievements and experience in CTF.

Congrats to you both for stepping up the game! This shows that a collaboration between different universities is possible!

The long-awaited Game of Hackers (GOH) that finally returned after two years on October 21st, 2023, uplifted the excitement amongst university students, including our alumni and crews. We are delighted to share with everyone that our crews, alumni, and MCC2023 managed to 'hack' the competition as follows:

1. Champion: Kelvin, Mohin and William (Team L0stPaR4d0x)

2. 1st runner-up: Jia Qi, Zach, and Darrshan (Team DinoDefenders)

Besides winning the competition, Team L0stPaR4d0x managed to be the only team to solve the bounty challenge and was awarded as the bounty winner. Cheers to more achievements to be unlocked by them in the future!

On the night of October 29, 2023, our Abang Tesla, Naqib, makes some time to share with us his tips and tricks to pass the certificate by ISC2, which is Certified in Cybersecurity (CC). He, who just recently passed the examination, told us that it is important to understand our own study habits; however, it is necessary for us to be consistent. He provided alternative platforms that provide certification contents to add his understanding in preparing for the certification.

Besides that, he shared various types of certificates available to be taken for cybersecurity enthusiasts who wish to build and improve their portfolio and chances to get the attention of recruiters. One of the reasons mentioned by Naqib was that ISC2 is one of the organisations that has reputable values that will shine on one’s resume.

We hope that more of our alumni will pass this and other certification exams with flying colours! Let’s wish them good luck!
