This camp will introduce the student to the basic offensive cybersecurity skills that are essential in identifying a system's security vulnerabilities in an ethical manner. This will be accomplished by having the student play the role of a "Red Team" member. Red teams are typically made up of professionals authorized within an organization to attack a system as a malevolent hacker would in order to determine and exploit its vulnerabilities. These findings are then fed back to defensive security specialists to aid in further improving the system's defenses. Ethical hacking skills such as these are in high demand as they play an important role in improving the effectiveness of an organization's security posture.
