Cornell Cybersecurity Club

The Cornell Cybersecurity Club began in 2016 as the Cornell Hacking Club. It was refounded in 2024 to give undergraduates a straightforward, hands‑on path into cybersecurity. New CyBears undergo a 75‑day onboarding that walks through binary exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, and other fundamentals. Then, they sharpen what they learn through weekly workshops, guest talks, and Capture the Flag competitions. With practical training, mentorship, and a supportive community, the club prepares students for ethical hacking success.
