DEF CON 20 Badge Hacking
We are doing DEF CON 20 badge hacking at The Hack Factory tonight! Anyone is welcome to come by and hang out, so far all of the preregistration badges have been taken! Were going to solder on the VGA and PS/2 connectors, and post some fun info on what we did after the event!
See you tonight, after 6pm.

No February Meeting
We are not going to have a February meeting. Stay home, stay warm, and enjoy Valentines Day. We will see you in March for the badge hacking night (details below):
Let’s hack some DEF CON XX badges!
DC612 is holding a badge hacking workshop! Wanna have fun and setup a commodore 64 emulator on your Defcon XX badge! Now is the time! DEF CON donated 30 extra badges (CDs and Programs too!). Their only request was that we post (Blog, Social Media, Office Xerox, etc) about your project or board when we complete it.
We are asking $5-$10, but you can always add more, as the donation goes directly to the Hack Factory. Each ticket comes with a badge. You will need to pay cash for the badge when you arrive, as we get chraged $1 for each ticket we sell via eventbrite. We’ve also setup individual badge tickets. So say you wanted a Human badge- design #1, well you can use that as your ticket and we will make sure you get that badge.
These were donated by DEF CON for us to play with. To order more and check out the designs, visit: http://hackerstickers.com/product/hardware-dc20-humanbadge/

Save the date – DC612 Day – March 9th 2013
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
729 MarshallStreet N.E.,
Minneapolis, MN 55413
Update: November 8th Meeting 6pm @ Hack Factory
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!

Hack Factory is located in the Seward neighborhood.
