Session Details:

Title: Hands on Penetration Testing 101 by Scott Sutherland & Karl Fosaaen

Abstract: The goal of this training is to introduce attendees to standard penetration test methodologies, tools, and techniques.  Hands on labs will cover the basics of asset discovery, vulnerability enumeration, system penetration, privilege escalation, and bypassing end point protection.  During the labs, common vulnerabilities will be leveraged to illustrate attack techniques, using freely available tools such as Nmap and Metasploit.  This training will be valuable to anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of penetration testing or to system administrators trying to understand common attack approaches.

Requirements:  All attendees interested in participating in the labs will need to bring their own laptop.  A copy of BackTrack will be provided to all attendees on a USB flash drive that they can keep.  Laptops should have a wired Ethernet port in order to participate in labs.

 

 

Title: Web Application Security: OWASP Top 10 by Brian Johnson

Abstract: In this session we will learn how to find, demonstrate how to exploit and discuss how to prevent the OWASP Top 10 Security Issues.  We will also discuss how these issues are exploited in the real world. Students will have the opportunity to have hands on experience testing for and exploiting these issues.

Requirements:  All attendees interested in participating in the labs will need to bring their own laptop.  Laptops should have a wired Ethernet port in order to participate in labs.

 

 

 

Title:  Challenge Walk-through by Spenser Reinhardt

Abstract:  Capture the flag challenges, are no easy task and can require vast and intimate knowledge of many different aspects of computer systems. This session will guide participants through a variety of challenges, ranging from application exploitation, forensic image recovery, cryptography, and binary reverse engineering. Each task will be challenging and presents something new to learn. By the end, you should have a basic idea of how capture the flag events work, what to expect and an understanding of how to complete a variety of challenge types.

Requirements:  All attendees interested in participating in the labs will need to bring their own laptop.  Laptops should have a wired Ethernet port in order to participate in labs.

January 10th Meeting 6pm @ The Hack Factory

Written by  on January 2, 2013

This month we are going to be messing around with the Raspberry Pi devices. There will be informal demos so if you have one, bring it and share what you have done with it. Have another device/project you have been working on, bring it in and tell us about it.

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:

6PM-??? – Raspberry Pi Demos/Other projects

See you Thursday!

Hack Factory is located in the Seward neighborhood.

Thank you to all who responded to our survey! It appears that there is sufficient interest for a one day hands-on event. We are planning on holding the event on March 9th, 2013. Based on the survey results, we are going to cover challenge walk-through, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation during this one day hands-on learning event. More details and registration will be available in the upcoming weeks. Below are the results of two of the questions asked on the survey:

Dec 13th Meeting 6pm @ Elsies

This month we will have Jay Jacobs presenting on the following (as written by Jay himself):

I’d like to geek out on data analysis and data visualization, primarily around data I’ve collected myself or gotten through my work on the Verizon RISK team.  I’ll cover some basic guidelines when communicating with data as well as some common pitfalls and solutions.  I’ll cover some tools out there folks can use and if the demo gods smile, maybe even run through some live data.

Jay Jacobs is a cryptonerd turned data geek.  He is a principal on the Verizon RISK Team where he plays with data  for the Data Breach Investigation Report and other research efforts.  Jay also serves on the board of the Society of Information Risk Analysts and is currently studying applied statistics at Penn State.

Agenda:

6:00PM-6:30PM – Get in, get drinks and food ordered

6:30PM-???? – Jay Jacobs

Elsie’s Restaurant Bar and Bowling

Update: November 8th Meeting 6pm @ Hack Factory

Written by  on October 26, 2012

We will not be meeting at Elsie’s on Nov 8th. Why? Scheduling conflicts…. Elsie’s is kind enough to let us use their banquet room for free, so when a customer willing to pay for the room requests the banquet room, we get the boot. There was originally a party that was taking place on Nov 8 in the banquet room until 6:30pm, however they have extended their party, forcing us out.

Instead:

This month we are going to be building some throwing star lan taps that we never got around to doing last month, and working on any other projects that we haven’t had time to work on. We will be meeting at the Hack Factory at 6pm. Feel free to bring any project you want to work on, or even one you already completed, but think it is worth showing off. Or if you want, just come and 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:

6PM-??? – LAN Tap builds/Other projects

See you Thursday!
