Welcome to CyberSoc
Are you interested in learning how to use cryptography to encrypt your messages, curious about the plethora of vulnerabilities on the web, or want to hack electronic equipment?
We're the society for you! The best way to get involved is by joining our Discord! You're welcome to get involved without a membership, but if you'd like to join in our member-only events, you can get your membership below!

CyberSoc Welcome event
PZA/106x - 29/09/2026
What is Wardriving? Collecting real data from York
07/10/2026
In collaboration with DataSciSoc, you'll learn a little about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and the history behind them. Then we'll head out into the city centre to perform a wardrive, the act of listening for those wireless signals all around us. We'll use some of the very same tools used by hackers of past and present. It'll also give us some real word data to analyze, allowing you to practice your data analysis skills to extract some novel findings. By the end of the session, you will have gained a deeper understanding of wireless protocols and know how our tech can and is used against. DataSciSoc will also have a follow up session analysing the data more in depth. No previous knowledge is required, and we especially welcome those who have none.
Malicious Requests | Hacking Websites From Your Browser
PZA/106x - 13/10/2026
Join us this week for a light-hearted exploration into website exploits. Learn how to use tools like BurpSuite and the developer options already built into your browser to cause some light chaos for our poor website owner. We have a website pumped full of vulnerabilities for you to catch with varying difficulty levels. We'll walk through the basic techniques and some key things to watch out for so even a beginner to the topic will be able to bodge the website pretty bad. 😉
