What is ISSS?

We are a student-run organization in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. We work on teaching students practical hacking skills, spreading awareness about security, and running hands-on demos and challenges for students to practice their skills.

What do we do?

We hold CTF challenges every other week, and give talks on various security-related topics on alternate weeks.

We also run some big events, such as HackTXCTF, networking dinners, and Security Day, our day long conference.
