While exploiting is indeed a flashy part of CTFs, it is only a portion of the skills used to qualify or compete in a CTF. This month’s meeting is to inform/remind people that…

Yep, weather sucks and people’s driving in said weather makes the roads even more unsafe. Web Night is cancelled for this evening. Sorry for the inconvenience!

If you’ve never picked up a soldering iron before, but would like to learn the art of soldering then this class is for you. Buddy has made a generous donation of beginner level soldering kits. There will be 18 kits available on a first come first serve basis. We’ll have soldering irons available as well,…

We will be implementing a Xilinx divider IP core so that our CPUs can divide. If we finish creating and testing the divider, then we will move on to creating a flags register and implementing addca (add with carry). Please bring a breadboard and jumpers so that we can troubleshoot using the three external IO…

We had planned on adding division and add w/ carry, but there has been a change. Since the divider opcode took quite a while, we will be covering how to get the divider working from the ground up. This will be done using the ISE simulator and simple test bench code. We will cover the…

Continue work on our custom CPU. We will be finishing the push and pop opcodes and writing test programs to use them with ret and call. If time permits, we will also create the flags register and a new addition opcode that adds the remainder from the last addition operation. The code is up on…
