# Onboarding

### Welcome to CyberSleuth!

Before we begin learning how to do things from cracking a password-protected zip file, scraping web pages, encoding and encrypting information, hiding secrets in images, and finding bugs in a vulnerable website, **we need to create some accounts and learn about the importance behind the fun in cybersecurity.**

## How to report back from your missions:

Click on the link [here](https://forms.gle/CAzuUt8JHUp1c5eZ7) to go to the Google Form that will help you keep track of the codes you will collect over the course of the week! If you have one, sign in to your Google account to save progress across any device.

## Creating Accounts

### CyberStart Game

With the time leftover from solving our cases, you'll have the opportunity to **play CyberStart Game,** which is a training program provided by SANS (a real-life cybersecurity company!) to ***practice your skills in a "video game" way.***
