The Saguaros CyberHub Project

The official repo of the UA Cyber Saguaros CyberHub project.

Project Description

The Saguaros CyberHub is the official cyber warfare range and eLearning platform of the Cyber Saguaros, the University of Arizona's largest cybersecurity club. The CyberHub's purpose is split into three main goals that guide our effort throughout this project:

1. Provide club members with the opportunity to supplement their undergraduate and graduate-level coursework with hands-on offensive and defensive security training.
2. Create a training model & environment for club Capture the Flag (CTF) teams.
3. Stay free for club members.

Project Ethos

Our goal is to follow this set of ethos set by the team:

1. Use free, open-source software wherever possible.
2. Keep the project portable for use on any hardware platform by utilizing IAC and scripts.
3. Keep any deployment of the project free for students.

Project Components

Here are the main components that will make up the CyberHub:

1. The Hub - The website/landing page where users authorize and get access to the other sections of the CyberHub.
2. Saguaros University - Moodle eLearning platform (LMS) with courses and digital badges.
3. The Crucible - A fully featured, CTF-style cyber warfare range with vulnerable hosts, networking devices, and enterprise environments.
4. Library - An organized, properly indexed repository of eBooks, PDF guides, research articles, and cybersecurity resources.
5. Cyber Wiki - A wiki with vulnerable machine walkthroughs, red/blue team skill playbooks, cheat sheets, and the CyberHub project documentation.
6. The Archive - A deep archive of malware samples, projects, scrapped data samples, etc.
