Yuma CyberPatriot team completes round 2 of this year’s
competition
The four members of the Yuma Squadron 508 CAP squadron
completed the second round of CyberPatriot competition on Sunday, December10th.
Several team members wore their newly- delivered CyberPatriot t-shirts to the
meeting conference room. Round 2 included images from Windows 7, Windows 10,
and Ubuntu 14 operating systems as well as a networking quiz developed by
Cisco. The team used all but one minute of the six hours allowed for
competition, thus saving themselves an overtime penalty. New, untrained subject
matter was introduced in the Forensic Questions that required the team members
to go the Internet to search for answers. This was a good exercise that
reminded cadets to use all available, allowed resources.
Several teams apparently scored 100% unofficially at the
national level. Overall though, most teams found the challenges in Round 2 were
incrementally more difficult to identify and correct than Round 1. Preliminary
and unofficial results for the Yuma team again showed them near the top third
of teams in the All Services Division for Arizona. Official results should be
in early next week.
Next, teams will be assigned to one of three tiers for the
State Round of competition coming up January 19-21 based on their performance
during Rounds 1 and 2. Yuma’s team will probably be assigned to the Gold Tier,
the middle tier, for next month’s competition. Only teams in the Platinum Tier
are eligible to go to the Nationals.
