DC612 Wardrive – Saturday July 15, 2017

The 2017 DC612 Wardrive is official!

On Saturday, July 15 we will meet outside the St. Anthony Falls parking garage ($5 parking for up to 12 hours) for a 4PM pickup, then enjoy 3 hours of hackery and drinking with a short break in the middle for snacks and leg-stretching.  Please plan on showing up at least 15 minutes early so we can do a head count and make sure we’re not over-booked.  There are three important things that anyone attending needs to know:

1. Important!  We went with the Black Onyx bus which can seat up to 40, maximum 60 with standing room.  Realistically speaking, considering the gear and booze we will only be able to accommodate around 30 people comfortably, so we have set up a RSVP link here:  clickyUpdate:  Apparently EventBrite requires an account to RSVP, but we won’t know or care if you use fake info  🙂  Sorry for the inconvenience!You must RSVP if you wish to come with!  If you don’t and you show up anyway, we will give priority to those who did RSVP and if there is room left we will open it up to general admittance on a first-come first-serve basis.
2. We want everyone to be able to attend regardless of financial situations.  While there is no mandatory fee for attending, we are requesting $20 cash per person for those who can afford it to help offset costs.  If you can chip in more, that is definitely appreciated.  Update: If you would like to contribute via Bitcoin, an address has been set up: 1JueDXm6AEtuq9PyFRhFkZYDFAQsfUsYwa
3. This is a 21+ event.  Alcohol is allowed, and some generic drinks will be provided but you are encouraged to bring your own.  Please be responsible, don’t overdo it and throw up or anything.  We want to do this again, and making fools of ourselves is not a good step in that direction.

A good resource for hardware compatibility is this page from the aircrack wiki.  Otherwise, ALFA brand cards have long been a solid choice.

For any questions, please email info@dc612.org or message us on Twitter at @DC612.  See you there!

DC612 – Thursday May 11th, 6pm @ Wilde Roast

Spring is in the air, and with that DC612 Projects is right around the corner.

Before we launch into the DC612 Projects debut in June with Recon month, Josh More will be brining you a Presentation on Presentations

or better said “How to Suck Less at Presenting”.

We will discover how not use bullet points when there are so many appealing varieties and much much more.

No doubt there will also be War Drive planning by @tactifail and the continued search for a sticker tsar/czar or maybe a Ctzicker Ctzar.

DC612 – Thursday April 13th, 6PM @ Wilde Roast

This Thursday, April 13th, come out to play with your local DC group!

Everyone’s favorite,  SlideDeck Roulette will be the nights entertainment.

Think you want to get good at presenting a topic?  Ever wonder how those improve comedy performers do it?  Taking the best of both worlds, we now give you SlideDeck Roulette.  Here’s how it works – when your turn is up, we shuffle the deck and present you 5 ‘never seen by you’ slides. You have 3-5 minutes to present on whatever you think the topic might be?  Get creative.  Sure, you don’t know the topic – But your audience is just as clueless as you.

*Rules governing SlideDeck roulette will be fast and loose.

**Bring your laptop to throw your own SlideDeck in the mix.

Bonus March Meetup!

Hey everyone!

If you are free on March 27th at 6PM, we will be hosting a second meetup at the Wilde Roast!

Josh More (frequent speaker on topics ranging from infrared photography, to evading digital surveillance, to infosec industry trends) has taken several interns under his wing and wants to show them what the hacking community is all about.  All of us attend DC612 for different reasons – many are here to learn, some are here to teach, others just want to meet with like-minded individuals to socialize.  Maybe it’s all three.  Whatever the reasons, we have all grown professionally as a result no matter how far along we are in our careers.  The hacking community is built upon sharing information freely, and we owe it to ourselves and each other to not only share that information within our group, but to invite others in and expand so they can add to the collective whole.  Like the Borg, but less implant-y.

In the spirit of teaching, learning, and growing as a community, Josh is inviting his interns to join us for an evening of short talks from whoever has something to share.  You don’t need a Power Point presentation, or to dress up, or even to stand up.  Talk about something for which you have a passion, or a project you are working on, or some cool new technological concept you recently learned.  5 minutes, 2 minutes, 60 seconds, however much time you need to get a group of interns excited!

Josh will also be so kind as to provide appetizers for the group, in case you needed any more reason to join us  🙂

Hope to see you all then!
