Hello, and  sorry for the late posting!

This month we will hear from our very own Crypty McCryptoface as he shares with us his CypherCon talk.  We will also hear from Paul re: “J-Badgulators”, whatever those may be.  Find out with us!

Hello!

Quick post this time, as we had a last-minute change of speakers.  Our very own @_videoman_ will be presenting the talk he gave at Ciphercon 3.0 this year:

Developers, developers, developers.  When DevOps fails to secure.

Show up, eat food, drink drinks (if that’s your thing) and we’ll see you there!

Please Note: Due to a scheduling conflict with our speakers, this meeting will be the third Thursday of the month (April 19).  Same time (6PM), same place (Wilde Roast Cafe), just a different day.

Hello Hackers!

Have you found yourself thinking “Gee, I sure wish I could see more DC612 talks” lately?  Tired of that sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize there will be only one presenter each month?  Well then have I got good news for you!

For our April meeting, we will be giving 5 quick talks from 4 presenters on a variety of subjects.  Not necessarily in order, they are:

  • Josh: “Beyond Boolean” and “Working With Nano-Services
  • Kat: “TLA Compliance And You
  • Tony: “CryptoCredit
  • Trevor: “Security Through Obscurity Done Right

Each presentation will be short and to the point, with a brief Q&A session while the next presenter prepares their slides.

See you there!

So you found a Debug port, now what.

This episode of DC612 will star an Oscilloscope old enough to drink and whatever UART and JTAG ports you bring it.

We will walk through the 101’s of an oscilloscope and how to use one.  With our trusty Oscilloscope we can rely on voltage readings of UART or JTAG pins and start to deduce how to interface to the port by determining which are for transmit, receiving, power and ground.

The majority of the night will rely on YOU brining in various devices which we will read and debug, Live!

Examples given will closely resemble the reverse engineering of the Huawei HG533 as described by Juan Carlos Jimenez in the following blog post series.

Happy Hacking,

Oscilloscope Mom,
