DC612 – Tuesday, October 11th – 6pm @ the Wilde Roast
DC612 brings you:
“Many threat vectors have been assessed in the medical device world, but there is no available work on extortion as a threat vector. By mapping the extortion attack surface area of a given medical device, understanding the threat actors, and looking into how the exploits would happen, I made a tool to help understand the problem better. My hope is that a medical device company would use this information to roll extortion threat assessment into their existing safety evaluations.” – Judd Larson
September… Again? Sure!
Hey all!
So, at our somewhat-regularly-scheduled meeting on September 6th we were approached by @transranea with an offer to speak about Faraday. The only catch is, she will be leaving town before our October meeting!
So, never wanting to miss a cool talk, we decided to hold two – count ’em – two meetings this month!
The next meeting will be September 26th, at 6PM once again at the Wilde Roast in Minneapolis. It definitely fit our needs last time, so we plan on being there for the foreseeable future – Our October meeting will still take place at the beginning of the month, and we plan to be at the Wilde Roast for that one as well.
See you all there!
DC612 – Tuesday, September 6th – 6pm @ the Wilde Roast
DC612 is back in September for a special First Tuesday of the Month edition!
We’re excited to be welcoming Jim Hall, founder and coordinator of the FreeDOS project!
Over twenty years ago, as Microsoft announced that it would end support for the MS-DOS operating system, James Hall announced to the world that he intended to create a public domain version of the OS in order to keep the universe of character-based DOS software alive. Hall’s “PD-DOS” project eventually became FreeDOS, which today supports an ecosystem of developers, retro gamers, and diehards who will give up their WordStar when you pry the floppies from their cold, dead fingers.

Expect a firsthand overview of the history of the project and a Q & A that can’t be missed!
See everyone at our new location! Wilde Roast Cafe in NE Minneapolis!

UPDATE – July Meeting Location Change
We just learned that Community Keg House has shut down!
After many frantic phone calls, I managed to secure a room at Kafé 421 in Minneapolis at the normal time of 6PM. They were kind enough to book us last-minute at no charge, so please save your appetites and order something there.
421 14th Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
Sorry for the confusion!
