dc404.org | DEF CON Atlanta

Saturday November 19th is your DC404 meeting at Manuel’s Tavern at 2pm

Arch3y will be presenting ArchStrike:

ArchStrike is a penetration testing and security layer on top of Arch Linux. Our goal is to have a comprehensive list of bleeding edge security tools. We maintain a KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid, philosophy, while optimizing the tools for i686, x86_64, ARMv6, ARMv7, and ARMv8. We constantly update our tool set to make sure it’s up to date with the fast-paced infosec environment.

Arch3y has been around since September 2013. He has built and maintained packages on Blackarch, ArchAssault and now ArchStrike.

Brimstone will also be setting up a NetKotH (Network King of the Hill) CTF.

There will be a wireless network for accessing NetKotH.

My NetKotH web page isn’t ready yet so here is a quick explanation:

Irongeek created NetKotH

AIDE 2013 – Network King Of The Hill (NetKotH) A hacker wargame for organizers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GNBdWD9nVM

The idea is to have a CTF that takes little in the way of hardware and uses off the shelf pentest builds so there isn’t any engineering required to build the challenges. It also comes with a simplistic scoring engine. This means just about anyone can set one up. You can even build one for home use or for a computer class in your local high school.

Usually CTFs (like DEFCON) are for the very experienced and/or professional pentesters. NetKotH’s challenges are entry level and well documented online so it is perfect for the people with no CTF experience.

Those of us who have pentesting/CTF experience can help mentor those who want to give it a try.

If you would like to participate you will need a laptop with wireless access. I’ll see about bringing some cables and an extra switch if you don’t have wireless. I also recommend you have a pentesting build with all the latest tools. Kali Linux will boot and run live from a DVD or USB drive. You might also consider ArchStrike, although I don’t know if ArchStrike will run as a live DVD or USB drive. Windows will also work if you have pentesting tools installed.

The DC404 email list was brought back online yesterday morning (11/1/2016).

We noticed at 09:54 10/22/2016 that the DC404 email list was down.

The problem seems to be DNS resolution of the kaos.to domain.

We are investigating the problem and will post an update here as soon as we have it fixed.

In the mean time you can join us on the DC404 IRC Channel: #dc404 irc.freenet.net

If Manuel’s doors are locked and there is a sign saying they are closed until dinner just go to the door on North Highland Avenue or the door in the back parking lot and knock. They will let you in for the DC404 meeting.

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).

Our meetings are in the Eagle’s Nest at Manuel’s Tavern. Free parking is behind Manuel’s and on the South side across the alley.
