Hello Hackers, and Happy Summer

This month in lieu of a formal speaker we will be gathering as a community for a little show and tell. Bring a project you’ve been hacking away at, or an idea you’ve had in mind to share with the group.

**BONUS**

If we have time let’s cover some topical topics like Defcon! who’s all going and should we do a meet up? Plus we have a Toxic BBQ to plan and we’ll be looking for volunteers.

Per usual we’ll will be meeting online at https://cafe.cyberia.club/dc612.

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

Hello Hackers!

This month, we will be joined by hacker-rapper @int0x80 who will be sharing his talk titled “AWS IAM Privilege Escalation Redux”:

You have gained access to an AWS account but lack permissions to complete your objectives. You attempt every privilege escalation path documented online, and none of them work. The objectives now seem impossibly distant; your battery is low and it’s getting dark.

This talk will present a set of IAM privilege escalation paths that I have not seen documented online* accompanied by anecdotes of adventures in cloud security. Attendees will learn new tricks for IAM privilege escalation in AWS along with a methodology for evaluating potential priv esc paths.

* I am not a subject matter expert on using search engines — best effort given.

int eighty (he/him) is a computer crime enthusiast, and the rapper in Dual Core. Occasional memes and hacking content on Mastodon and Twitter as @int0x80

As usual, 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, we will be joined by @rentanassassin who will share how they created Senior Drinknstein, the bartending robot:

You’re in a bar, you need a drink. What do you do, wait for the bartender? NO! You make your own robot to pour you your drink. In this talk, we’ll be going over how Senior Drinknstein was conceived, created, and deployed in prod without testing. Feel free to fork the project on our Github!

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.

Thursday, February 9th – 6:12pm @ Virtual

Hello Hackers!

This month, we will be joined by Brian Halbach who will present some tried and true, old but gold pentesting techniques:

Zero-day exploits, ground breaking research, new tool releases, all of these things will be ignored in this talk. Instead, this talk will focus on pentesting techniques that are not ground breaking, but are still valuable to be aware of.

Brian Halbach is a Senior Security Consultant at InGuardians. He was Time Magazine Person of the year in 2006. He gets nervous when people ask him his favorite food or movie and firmly believes that that the tuba is a better instrument than the sousaphone.

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.
