Hello Hackers!

Hopefully everyone is recovered from DefCon last month, or just enjoyed some downtime. Either way, we are back to our regularly-scheduled hackery!

This month we are joined by Caleb Shingledecker, who is the co-founder and lead developer at the startup Becoming Machinic:

Caleb Shingledecker will provide an overview of constraints facing multi-cloud infrastructure in organizations, and outline a utility he’s been developing that utilizes Wireguard to orchestrate connections between nodes, regardless of locale or cloud vendor.

Hello hackers!

This month we are happy to have Jacen Kohler join us to speak a bit on physical ID forgery:

A common method of gaining legitimacy on social engineering is the “Appeal to Authority” technique. This involves preforming OSINT on your target and referencing a figure of authority. If you have a fake employee ID, you can take a step closer to becoming the authority. A forged badge can add a visual layer to your story helping target employees become more likely to see you as a legitimate entity. In this talk, I will be showing how to create simple forged IDs, share some tips that helped me in previous engagements, and give an overview of times when having a fake badge helped me achieve my goals set forth by the client.

Jacen R Kohler has been working in cyber security and information security for the last 6 years. He received his degree in Computer Engineering from the University of North Texas in Computer Engineering. His career in security consulting has taken him through many industries including finance, transportation, energy, and government.

As usual these days, we will be meeting online at https://cafe.cyberia.club/dc612.

Hey Hack Fam.

We’re back for another Virtual Edition of DC612. This months featured speaker comes to us all the way from across the pond.

Gem Hill (@Gem_HIll) is a software tester by day, and is passionate about self care and mental health. She runs SelfCare Backpack in her spare time (https://backpack.gemhill.co.uk) and develops tools, resources, and talks on Self Care and wellbeing.

Self care can be tough when:

• we’re living in ‘interesting times’

As well as a reminder of what self care is and why it’s important, this talk will also share some tips and reminders on how to fit self care around your life and circumstances.
