ShadowNet Belt Progression & SISP Protocol

Members progress through the ShadowNet belt system from White Belt to Black Belt using the Shadow Initiation Sequence Protocol (SISP). SISP is CDTI’s structured progression framework for ethical hacking practice, combining short lessons, hands-on labs, practical challenges, and demonstrated skills inside the ShadowNet cyber range.

Hands-On Labs & Ethical Hacking

Each Friday session includes a 30-minute lesson followed by a 60-minute hands-on ShadowNet lab. Members practice ethical hacking skills in an authorized environment while working toward requirements for their current ShadowNet belt.

CTFs & Competitions

Members will participate in Capture the Flag challenges, team exercises, and special hacking challenges. As the club grows, we may also form teams to participate in outside cybersecurity competitions and tournaments.
