Ganesh is an extracurricular group based at USP São Carlos, dedicated to advancing knowledge in Information Security among undergraduates and the wider community. We pursue this mission by developing classroom materials, specialized courses, and workshops, and by creating educational projects for public and private schools. Organized into five key study areas — Cryptography, Reverse Engineering, Networks, Hardware Hacking, and Web Security — our members produce valuable educational content independently and collaboratively.

We connect with the public through various outreach initiatives, including our YouTube channel, an annual recruitment process, and participation in Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. Our consistent high rankings in these competitions position us among Brazil’s top teams and the country's leading university team. Each study area holds weekly meetings focused on developing mini-courses, tools, and study materials, with most of these resources publicly accessible on GitHub. Through these efforts, we continually contribute to and expand the field of information security in Brazil.
