It’s time to tame the last wild frontier of cybersecurity:
As our lives become increasingly dependent on technologies that lie deep in space, it is imperative that we do what it takes to secure our universe. Hack-A-Sat 2 (HAS2) is designed to inspire the world’s top cybersecurity talent to develop the skills necessary to help reduce vulnerabilities and build more secure space systems.

The Naming of Cats

It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
