Friday Friday January 5, 2018 is your atl2600 meeting at the Lenox Mall Food Court at 7pm.

Named after the zine, 2600 meetings are a monthly gathering in a public location where we chat about recent events in security and privacy. Topics discussed vary wildly. There’s no cost, and no structure. There’s a few regulars and a few people finding us for the first time every month.

We’ve been running a Capture-The-Flag event the past few months and will continue to run it again this month (serious this time). This event is targeted at both beginners and experienced pentesters. If you’d like to play along, you might want to bring a system (no lab machines this month). More information can be found here: NetKotH

Our meetings are held on the Market level (lowest level) of the food court in Lenox Mall, near the outside doors. When you enter in the outside doors on Market Level, look for the table in the middle or close to the glass with of laptops and cables. There is parking very close to the food court, directly opposite the mall from Peachtree.

Saturday December 16th is your DC404 meeting at Manuel’s Tavern at 2pm

Chris Silvers (winner of a DEF CON Black Badge in social engineering) will be presenting his new OSINT CTF.

You do not want to miss this presentation, as it will give you a leg up for the OSINT CTF Chris will be running at our January 2018 meeting.

We will also be having a followup to our DC404 2017 Geek Gift Guide from the November meeting.

Did you find something at the last minute you know we all would want to have?

Bring your list of items. If you already have the item(s) bring them so we can ooh and aw.

This is more like “show and tell” so a formal presentation is not required but if you bring slides we have a projector.

dcØde (one of our members) put up a spreadsheet to reduce duplication and so we have time to buy items for Christmas.

We will also be hosting a mini lock pick village and NetKotH (Network King of the Hill).

If CTFs are new to you check out How To Get Started Hacking.

Bring a laptop and your favorite tools (like Kali Linux or ArchStrike)

Friday November 3, 2017 is your atl2600 meeting at the Lenox Mall Food Court at 7pm.

The last year or two, we haven’t had a meeting in November, since it coincides with Phreaknic, the annual convention put on by the Nashville 2600 group. This year however, our meetings seem to be large enough that there will be a sizable crowd at Lenox and not going to Phreaknic. If you see me at Phreaknic say hi, and if you go to Lenox, say hi to a new friend. 🙂

Sorry for the room flip/flop. Manuel’s Tavern is trying to accommodate as many meetings as possible so they moved us back to the First Level Room (where we usually meet).

Manuel’s does not charge us for meeting space and they are very accommodating so I go out my way to be flexible.

There will be another group meeting in the First Level Room next to the windows. They have been notified that we run an open meeting and presentation.

Saturday October 21st is your DC404 meeting at Manuel’s Tavern at 2pm

Alex Kot will be presenting “Build your own free Network Security Monitor (NSM)”.

Abstract:

Network Security Monitoring (NSM) is becoming a must have. Both regulatory and security needs are making this become a standard in every environment. I want to go over the pieces of technology that you will find in NSMs and why some are better than others. I will explain some of the hurdles you will come across when implementing them. I will provide an NSM you can connect to. The main benefit of doing it the way I present is that you will learn how to use the tools, keep your NSM lean, and have a platform that is agnostic to Distros and SIEM.

Bio:

Alex Kot is a security engineer at a payments processing company. He is also a hobbyist of SOHO router firmware and Mesh technology. When I am not messing with security or wireless I am usually playing FPS on Xbox Live.

Come prepared to share what you are working on. Your project doesn’t have to be complete and slides are not required (like show-n-tell).

We will have a projector if you need it.

We will also be hosting NetKotH (Network King of the Hill).

Saturday September 16th is your DC404 meeting at Manuel’s Tavern at 2pm

Nathan Underwood (piratica) will be presenting “Getting Started in Amateur Radio (HAM”.

Abstract:

I’ve been ‘gonna get my HAM license’ now for years and, finally, went for it. It was easier, cheaper (well, sort of) and more fun than I expected. While it’s still fresh on my mind, I thought I’d share it with the group in case there were any others that were in that ‘gonna do it’ phase.

Bio:

Christian. Husband. Father. Hacker. Perpetual n00b. Martial arts nerd. Amateur radio guy’ (full disclosure, I kind of ripped this off from Johnny Long) Nathan’s fascination with computers began as an elementary school kid with a Mattel Aquarius computer back in the early 1980s where he got hooked learning BASIC programming and sending AT commands to a modem (he was war dialing when war dialing wasn’t cool). It turned into an MOS as a Tech Controller / Microwave Systems Operator / Maintaner (31N / 31P) in the US Army where he learned about telecommunications, opsec and infosec at the US Signal Center at Ft. Gordon and a career in technology when he was honorably discharged. He began doing technology consulting on ‘the outside’ and, after completing a number of contract positions and serving in a number network admin/systems admin roles, Nathan started a tech support company for small to medium businesses in 2002 called Cyber Tech Cafe and more recently an offensive security company (also focusing on the SMB market) called Piratica. Nathan enjoys spending time with his wife and kids and training martial arts (Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do) and tinkering with amateur radio.
