WiFi Antenna building night! Febuary 11, 2010 DC612
Let’s build some fun antennas! Things like the Wifi Cantenna, Bi-Quad sardine antenna, HDTV, etc.
I will supply the materials like, pop-rivets, soldering irons, N-female connectors, Copper wire. You supply a clean tin can. You can use soup cans, pinapple juice cans, anything that is made of metal, and has been washed out! We will calcuate the placement based on the size of the can, and you can go to town making your own canteena.

If you want to make a bi-quad anteena, which has about 10-12db of gain, you can bring a cookie tin or sardine can that is at least 62mm x 40mm.
If you want to make the HDTV antenna from Make, please plan on bringing your own supplies ( see http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/01/maker_workshop_dtv_antenna_steadyca.html).
The anteena connectors for the WiFi anteenas will be $5, and as can be purchased at the time of the event. I will make sure that I bring at least one connector/person. To use these, you will need a wireless card that has an external antenna connector, such as an MMCX or RP-SMA. You will then need a pigtail that does N-Male to your card, EG: N-Male to MMCX, or N-Male to RP-SMA Male.
If people want to bring a DSS (small dish) satilite dish we can mount the cantenna on the end, and you can boostt your performace by quite a bit!

November Meeting – USB Multiboot and Interceptor
USB Multiboot and Interceptor tools will be demoed and people can create their own bootable USB drive at the next DC612.
CTF
We will have a sign up sheet at the meeting, and create a mailing list for the Red Team/CTF events. We will also be looking for volunteers to teach a few clasess, such as NMAP, Nessus, Metasplot, etc…
Interceptor
Interceptor is a script and hardware to capture wired traffic and send it unmodified over a wireless connection. The script was created by DigiNinja and it allows any OpenWRT device to be come a virtually transparent network sniffer. This means once the device is set, I can watch the wired network traffic from outside the building, over the wireless. I’ll give a quick intro, and demo on the Router Station Pro hardware and Interceptor tools.
USB Multiboot
Have you ever had a really large USB stick (8 or 16GB) however you can only use backtrack or Bart’s PE as the boot loader wants to take over? Me too. We will show you how you can have dozens of operating systems on one USB drive, and boot all of them with ease! This topic idea came to us from Hak5, and everyone can participate! So bring your thumb drives (4GB or bigger is best), make sure that you backup or wipe the drive before the meeting just in case, as we will have a computer with a plethora of bootable ISOs and OSes for people to tryout.
Registration
Please register for this months meeting so we know how much stuff to bring for the multi-boot creation. This is not mandatory- but will allow us to plan appropriately.
Time: 6pm-9pm
Location: see Meetings page for more info.
