jaredbird — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:14:18 +0000

This month we are going to do having a project/show and tell meeting. This is a great opportunity to work on that project that you really want to work on, but just havent had the time for (like the balloon/camera contraption that we are going to send to space this spring). So if you are like me and have some sort of project to work on but just haven’t seem to had the time lately, bring it on in. And yes, if you really don’t have anything to work on, you are more than welcome to just come hang out.

As always, The Hack Factory doesn’t have a bar, so bring your own food & beer and remember, there are no maids on the Hack Factory payroll, so you need to clean up after yourself.

Agenda:

6:00PM-??? – Project/Show & Tell

See you Thursday!

Feb 9th Meeting 6pm @ Elsies

jaredbird — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:18:55 +0000

The February DC612 meeting will be held inside the banquet room at Elsie’s Bar and Bowling Alley in NE Minneapolis on Thursday, February 9th. This month Donald Schleede is going to be doing a test run of the talk he has submitted for Secure 360 titled “Device Security”. Below is the abstract of his talk:

It is forecasted within the next five (5) years that the Internet will not only be a worldwide connection of computers, but a interconnection of everyday devices that we use. These devices will include your coffee maker, your thermostat, your bathroom scale, your pill bottles, and other common devices within your home, car, and work environments. These devices will have access to critical personal information as well as the ability to control the environment around us. With the future explosion of these devices connected to the Internet, how will we secure the devices and protect our information? In this presentation, I will describe the main security concerns of devices from current device customers, including the current guidance on how to secure devices in different vertical markets that need to meet either PCI, HIPPA, or NERC/CIP requirements. We will also discuss some current and proposed architectural designs for device security, and the challenges we face with these designs.
Agenda:

6:00PM-6:30PM – Order food and drinks

6:30PM-???? – Donald Schleede

See you Thursday!

Happy new year!

Did anyone get that certain someone a new router or WiFi access point this holiday season? Chances are that we can break into it if it has the WPA Pin mode. We are gonna do this DC612 more workshop style. So what we need from you is 1) Laptop with WiFi (backtrack or linux), 2) Wireless Access Point with “PIN” mode, and a WPA passphrase. We will work on cracking this until everyone breaks the network keys. We will also talk about why this is such as bad thing, and how this is yet another flaw that was introduced into WiFi networking.

Location: The Hack Factory (The wonderful local Hacker Space – memberships available!)

If people want to follow along, feel free to bring a computer with the following: Linux/Backtack, Nmap, metasploit, winexe-PTH, enum4linux, gsecdump, etc.

“Are you a security professional looking to add penetration testing to your skill set? Looking for a real world view of your business’ risk? Love hearing war stories beyond a one-step tool? Penetration testing methodologies, tools, and techniques have evolved much over the years.

We will focus on basic methodologies for what a pentest should look like, the goals of a reasonable test, old and brand new tips and tricks of the trade, and real life stories (not case studies) of how one small vulnerability can result in full-infrastructure compromise. From internal and external networks to wireless and physical, learn how to gain unauthorized access to systems to obtaining data critical to the business infrastructure will result in greater profit (and protection of course). ”

We will also have Mike Krumpus, who showed off his pong game a while ago, and has created “Hackvision” (http://nootropicdesign.com/hackvision), and will be demoing this as well.
