The Offensive Security, Incident Response, and Internet Security (OSIRIS) laboratory is a student-run cybersecurity research lab where students analyze and understand how attackers take advantage of real systems.
The OSIRIS Lab is a part of the NYU Center for Cyber Security, and is located at Room 1066, 370 Jay Street.
We engage in student-led, academic professional-guided cybersecurity research spanning a range of areas, from systems security and vulnerability discovery to applied cryptography, reverse engineering, and AI. Our work is driven by problems relevant to both industry and academia.
OSIRIS runs CSAW CTF, one of the largest student-run cybersecurity events & competitions in the world.
We take part in writing challenges, interacting with sponsors, and facilitating the actual competition, which comprises both an online qualifying and in-person finals round. In 2024, over 6000 students participated in the event.
Researchers and industry professionals collaborate with us on projects, research, and events. We work with our partners to bring new opportunities to lab members and to help solve real-world problems. If you are interested in collaborations, please contact us.
