Up for cybersecurity Capture the Flag? NYU-Poly CSAW registration now open

More than 15,000 students competed last year for a chance to come to Brooklyn and take on the best team of hackers in the country. Now registration is open for the 2014 edition of Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW) at the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering.

There’s more than just a hacking contest, and new elements have been added this year, including a student-run public policy competition and an expanded research conference, emphasizing security at scale.

If you aren’t feeling quite up to a world-class hacking competition but want to get started, the Brooklyn Public Library is having a “CryptoParty” on Monday, to promote learning about cryptography.
