Cadet Competitive Cyber Team, C3T

C3Tphoto1.jpg

On Saturday, January 12th, 2013 the newly formed Cadet Competitive Cyber Team (C3T) hosted team tryouts in two computer labs in Thayer Hall. Twenty-four Cadets from all four classes demonstrated their cybersecurity skills in a 12-hour Capture the Flag (CTF) competition, solving a series of challenges to score points. The challenge was organized and executed by Cadets Benjamin Allison (’14) and Christian Sharpsten (’14), with help from the Team’s coach, MAJ Todd Arnold. Results from the challenge were one of the primary criteria in selecting the team’s 12 principal members. The new C3T represents West Point by participating in intercollegiate cybersecurity competitions such as the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC, http://www.nationalccdc.org/) held each spring.

The Mission

The C3T is a competitive academic team within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The team’s primary mission is to prepare for, and compete in, undergraduate cybersecurity competitions in order to improve their own computer and network security skills and to conduct outreach for the Army Cyber Center, the EECS Department, and USMA.

Data Sets

The National Security Agency permitted both the recording and release of the following datasets.

Network Diagram (Pre-CDX 2009)

In an attempt to provide users of our dataset a means to correlate IP addresses found in the PCAP files with the IP addresses to hosts on the internal USMA network, we are including a pdf file of the planning document used just prior to the execution of CDX 2009 (NOTE: USMA utilized network address translation). Keep in mind this was a planning document. Changes may have occurred to the USMA network that were not annotated on this document.
