Hello Hackers!

This is going to be another social hour style meeting. @TactiFail will be taking center stage sharing some of his favorite #Hack365 adventures so far, and anyone else who has a project to share is invited to speak up!

On his list of topics tonight is:

  • HackRF and radio signals generally
  • Flipper Zero capabilities
  • JBadgulator and hardware hacking
  • Philosophical musings about the nature of hacking, what it means to rediscover a lost part of your self, and how to walk the fine line between doing something because you love it and doing something because you feel like you have an obligation to uphold a personal challenge that may be to your detriment
  • Maybe some Arduino stuff idk

As usual these days of Covid, we will be meeting online at https://cafe.cyberia.club/dc612.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.

Hello hackers!

This month’s meeting is mostly going to be a panel-style DefCon recap from those who attended either virtually or in-person. Badge talk, contest talk, village talk, talk talk.

After that there will be some planning for the upcoming DC612 Toxic BBQ.

Real chill this month.

2022 Toxic BBQ September 17th!

Written by  on August 28, 2022

Hello hackers!

In addition to having our September speaker lined up (details in a future post) we have exciting news:

The 2022 DC612 Toxic BBQ is on!

  • When: Saturday, September 17th from 4PM to 9PM Central
  • Where: Minnehaha Falls Regional Park, Wabun Picnic Shelter G (map here)
  • What:
    • Food! Bring food and we will grill it, or just show up and eat
    • Hackers! We have been told there may be hackers in attendance
    • Music? Games? Prizes? Maybe!
  • Cost: Zero dollars!

This is a group-led event, so it is only as good as we make it. We have a sign-up sheet here to track what everyone is bringing, please fill it out if you plan on bringing stuff. We always need food, but paper plates, plastic utensils, and napkins never go out of style. If someone wants to bring musical entertainment, or games, or a vulnerable WiFi spot, all the better!

Nobody is required to bring anything or pay anything to attend and eat, but keep in mind that our official budget is also zero dollars, so we will only have what we all bring.

See you all there!

Lets gather this month to celebate Fête nationale française! otherwise known as Bastille Day. What does Bastille Day have in common with our speaker this month you ask? Well, nothing but I’m sure we can come up with some correlation between Kratom and the storming of the Bastille.

This month we are joined by local scientist and opioid researcher, Pthamm. They will bring us all up to date with the latest research on Kratom – what we know from the peer-reviewed published studies and what we don’t.

Pthamm will answer questions like “What are the claims people are making about Kratom and what can the science say about those claims”. Pthamm read the peer reviewed scientific studies so you don’t have to!

As usual these days of Covid, we will be meeting online at https://cafe.cyberia.club/dc612.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.

Hope to see you there in your Blue, White and Red!

Hello Hackers!

This month we are joined by @NightmareJS who will be presenting “How Ransomware Can Follow You to the Cloud”:

Ransomware is a financially motivated crime. The goal is to inhibit business system in order to extract a payment. Historically, there’s been plenty of financial gain from ransoming data as it resides in traditional onPrem systems. So the question is, will there be evolutionary pressure on attackers – forcing them to evolve tactics?

In this talk I will be demo-ing strategies threat actors might employ to affect availability of business data in the cloud.

As usual these days of Covid, we will be meeting online at https://cafe.cyberia.club/dc612.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.
