Zero-Day Club

The Zero-Day Club's (ZDC's) mission is to foster and support a personal interest in information security for its members through interactive workshops, guest presentations, and Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. We look forward to setting a great example of what a high school information security organization can achieve, as one of the first of its kind.

The NIST sums up information security (infosec) quite well as "the protection of information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, ... or destruction in order to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability." Infosec encapsulates a wide variety of practices, from cryptography to pentesting to social engineering.

The ZDC is not a club for unapproved hacking and exploitation of systems. We strictly practice and endorse ethical hacking as laid out in our Code of Conduct. Ethical hacking involves the use of authorized practices by security professionals to gain access to systems, revealing vulnerabilities and technical oversights to system operators.

Hacking isn't about breaking the law. In fact, it's an entire culture based around technical discovery and boundary-pushing that welcomes people* of all creeds. It's not just people wearing Guy Fawkes masks and claiming to be part of Anonymous. Scroll down for more information about the club.
