This Monday (24/2), the International Committee 🌍 will be holding a cozy movie evening 🎬 in Nymble's TV-Rummet (Floor 3). Meet us there at 17:15!

We'll be watching Interstellar 🪐, a classic that is (almost) every engineer's favorite movie. 🎥 We'll have plenty of fika 🍪 and popcorn! 🍿

No sign-up necessary: just show up. See you there! 👋

Do you know someone who has been particularly helpful or a kind friend? THS Kamratstipendium is awarded to good friends at each of the union's chapters. More info and the place for nominating for the THS Kamratstipendium can be found at dsekt.se/kamrat!

Hello, Chapter!

It's time for the Studyboard to gather your thoughts & opninions on the courses that have been or are continuing. We'll see you in META on Thursday 27th febuary, during lunch!

Ask not what you can do for KTH, ask what KTH can do for you!

Mvh, SNEA

It's time to indulge. It's semla season – and it's nothing less than 🧁FATTUESDAY🧁 (one week after the pub) – and for that, Ada will celebrate with a PUB together with DKM.

‼️Semlor will be sold together with the food (for a small commission). It will be semlor with vanilla cream/custard, so if you want a traditional semla with almond paste, you may enjoy this with your nearest friends and family outside of META (bc of nuts).

At the pub, the theme for Ada's sittning will be revealed! And of course, you don't want to miss that – plus, you definitely want to attend the sittning, right!?

The agenda for Revisions-SM is now available. SM will discuss, among other things, the freedom of liability for the board of 2024, elections, motions and propositions.

The agenda is available in the meeting folder on Google drive together with the summons, the decision protocol as well as the discussion protocol.

Sincerely, the D-directorate

You can find the updated audit report for the board's work and financial management during the financial year 2024 here. It is unfortunatly only available in Swedish, but feel free to ask if there's something you want to know.

Hello chapter!

The Election Committee has now compiled the election documents for Revisions-SM! 📋📊 You can find them here.

You can now vote for the positions of KF representative and KF representative substitute. This election is held digitally at https://durn.datasektionen.se/.

Good evening, chapter! You haven’t forgotten about the candidate hearing for the student union council representative position tomorrow, have you? If you actually have, here’s a reminder:

This Friday, the Swedish National Hacking Team qualification round kicks off! 🚀 The top participants from the qualifier will advance to a final competition at Bosön, Lidingö, where the national team will be selected. The team will then represent Sweden in the European Cyber Security Challenge 2025, which this year will be held in Warsaw, Poland. 🌍

The competition will follow a CTF format, where you solve various challenges to earn points and climb the scoreboard. The challenges consist of programs and systems that you need to analyze and exploit to find flags! 🚩

Categories:

• Web - Hack vulnerable web applications 🌐
• Reverse Engineering - Analyze and understand programs 🕵️
• Pwn - Exploit binary vulnerabilities, e.g., buffer overflows 💥
• Crypto - Break weak cryptographic implementations (lots of math!) 🔑
• Misc - Everything else that doesn't fit into the other categories 🦜

Even if you've never played a CTF before, there will be some easier challenges to get you started. 🧸 If you've participated in dJulkalendern before, you'll recognize the format since the challenges follow the same structure as the windows. If you want to start practicing now, there are plenty of past challenges in Säkerhets-SMs problem archive.

📅 When? Friday, February 21 at 18:00 - Sunday, February 23 at 18:00

📍 Where? https://ctf.snht.se

🎯 Who? Anyone interested in cybersecurity. If you want to try out the CTF without competing in the qualifier, you can register in the "Open" category. You must be a Swedish citizen to be able to qualify.

Read more at https://snht.se and feel free to join our Discord, see you there 😊

Earlier this year THS decided to limit our access to the garbage room. At the same time they also introduced a cleaning schedule for the garbage station behind META, where we usually throw away glass. Now it is our turn to keep it clean week 8 (17th-23rd). This doesn't mean we have to keep it squeaky clean but it is our responsiblity to keep the garbage inside of the garbage station and not outside of it. 😊
