  • February 2012 Meeting

    This month’s DC407 is coming up fast. We’ll be talking about ShmooCon this time sharing banter about the talks, helping those who couldn’t make it catch up, and planning the next few month’s of DCG meetings. If we have time, maybe we’ll play with some tools and talk about the upcoming Metasploit class.

    We will be hosting this out at FamiLAB, but we will push it out a week to accommodate the awesome Node.js class being taught by Tetsu on the 24th. So, the February meeting is actually in March — but don’t let that fool you.

    Date/Time: March 2nd, 2012 @ 7pm
    Place: FamiLAB
    Contact Info: Call FamiLAB @ 407-406-5946 or message abyssknight on irc.freenode.net#familab

  • Upcoming Presentation

    At our next meeting, Tony will be giving his presentation titled:

    Stupid Things Pentesters Do: Frustrations of an Internal Security Guy.

    Many of us have heard about point n click pentesters and firms that deliver Nessus reports as penetration tests. That is not what this talk is about. It is about penetration testers not only failing to deliver value but also creating scenarios that create additional risk for their customers. Testing often creates availability concerns but far more importantly, improper testing activities and ignorance of data handling can generate significant exposure of sensitive information. Even worse, customers don’t know what to expect from their consultants and this disconnect creates a scenario where the business value they were hoping to realize never materializes and they never realize how badly they just got punk’d. And paid for the privilege. But at least the auditor is happy. Join us as we explore some of these issues and identify how customers can become smarter consumers, consultants can build a stronger brand and protect their customers interests. Truly, unicorns will fart rainbows and kittens and shellcode.

  • DC407 August is Rescheduled

    We are moving the August DC407 to September 9th, 2011. Mother nature’s wrath and schedule conflicts have arisen.

  • DC407 August 2011

    Just a reminder, DC407 is this Friday @ 7pm at the lab. CrashOverron on IRC reminded me, so I figured you guys probably forgot too. 🙂

    We still need a speaker or demo for this meeting, so if you have something you want to present let me know.

  • DC407 at DEFCON

    Yes, we’re here. Corq and I are already in Vegas; g3k and f00bard are on the way. We come bearing gifts and wares…

    When you see it, you will pwn bricks.

    Catch us on twitter, IRC at freenode #familab, or ping me (@abyssknight) to join the SMS bridge on groupme.

  • June Meeting

    Yes, there will be a dc407 meeting this Friday at FAMiLab. 7pm-ish, potential g3k beer, and locksport! Good time to stop by and talk security, even if you’re new to threats and vulnerabilities. Hope you’ll make it out.

  • April 2011 Meeting

    We will be holding DC407 this month out at FAMiLAb on Friday, April 29th at 7pm. For this meeting we actually have an agenda, as the Defcon Groups coordinator has asked us to provide some feedback. Please let me know if you’ll be able (or unable) to make it next Friday so I can gauge the interest, and accommodate any scheduling issues. Also, if there’s something awesome you want to do for next Friday, hit me up. I know Sturts and I were talking about setting up a super-extended version of the vulnerable VM lab and holding a tournament.

    Gate code is, as usual, available on request. My Google voice number is around here somewhere if you need to contact someone to let you in.

    Thanks,
    AK
