Welcome to the official blog of the University of Oregon Cybersecurity Club. This is where we’ll post meeting recaps, CTF write-ups, event announcements, and updates for members and the wider UO community.

What you’ll find here

  • Meeting recaps — what we covered, links to slides, and what’s coming up next
  • Event write-ups — CTF competitions, summits, and workshops
  • Announcements — deadlines, guest speakers, and opportunities to get involved

For officers: how to post

Adding a post takes about two minutes and needs no local setup — just a browser:

  1. On GitHub, open the _posts folder in this repository.
  2. Click Add file → Create new file.
  3. Name the file using the pattern YYYY-MM-DD-your-title.md — for example, 2026-10-02-week-1-recap.md.
  4. Start the file with this header block, then write your post in Markdown below it:

    ---
    layout: post
    title: "Your Post Title"
    date: 2026-10-02
    author: Your Name
    description: One-line summary shown on the blog index.
    ---
    
    Write your post here using Markdown.
    
  5. Commit the file (or open a pull request). Once it’s merged to master, the post appears on the Blog page automatically — the site rebuilds itself.

That’s it. No HTML, no build tools — just Markdown.
