It's that time again, third Thursday of the month...

Meeting topic for tomorrow night is RSA. Were going to try for a panel of folks to talk about what they found of interest at RSA. (I know, I know, that is not what DefCon is about, but some of us would like to know how it was.)

So please bring along stuff that you found to be of interest to share!

Happy New Year to all!

Our next meeting is January 18th (Third Thursday of the month) @ Broadway pizza.

I am going to do a talk on Intro to Web Hacking around WebGoat and WebScarab tools. I invite everyone and anyone to come to this, this is not just for uber-hackers, as all of us use web applications in some form or another, eg: On-line Banking, Web based email, portals, etc. I just want to make everyone aware that these common flaws still exits, and this maybe a good place for some in-depth Q and A.

I am touting this as an interactive lesson, rather then a typical stand up presentation. If you have questions I will be more then willing to answer them, no mater then technical depth or breath.

We will also bring a newly acquired (donations are the best kind!) CC terminal for folks to play with.

Please feel free to email us with any questions or request for this or any future meeting topics. info at dc612 dot org

Well it's the holiday season, and heather and I are busy making beer, and cookies. So, that said, unless someone would like to host the meeting, we will be busy making cookies and beer.

I have been looking into robots, any one interested in doing some robot stuff?

Would anyone like a presentation of common web mistakes- eg: Web Hacking demo of sorts. I would be more then willing to put something together.

Let us know- info at dc612 dot org.

As you may recall we will have our next meeting on the 16th, the topic is magstripe readers/writes... What's in your wallet.

I also have setup a flicker group, if you have photo that you would like to upload, or maybe a topic to talk about.

This should be really fun, take your plane jane Tivo, and make it web accessable, add ssh, and ftp to it.

but it may go longer, it will be a good one!
