Ask HN: Resources for College Cybersecurity Club?

Hi! I run a club at my university devoted to helping ~30 members learn more about hacking and cybersecurity, and I'd love to get more suggestions for activities we can do on a shoestring budget. What free/cheap interactive tutorials and lessons have you enjoyed? So far, I plan to: - Work through the Bandit box on OverTheWire.org [1] - Talk about social engineering with the Social Engineer Toolkit [2] - Practice CTFs with PicoCTF [3] - ... hack the planet? [1] https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/ [2] https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit [3] https://picoctf.org/
