DC404 Hybrid Meeting – July 15th

Sunday, July 9th, 2023 by narknet

Saturday July 15th is your DC404 hybrid meeting

All ages/skill levels welcome. No dues, feel free to bring new friends.

DC404 is experimenting with running hybrid meetings, so like all hacking, we expect issues, but we will improvise, adapt, and overcome.

Our in person meeting is at Manual’s Tavern and our online meeting is via Big Blue Button.

The meeting speaker (when we have one) will be streamed to both the in person and online meetings.

Paul David will be presenting: Event Tracing on Linux

Linux offers powerful tracing capabilities for observing and analyzing events across applications, which is often useful for detecting malicious activity or providing important visibility. However, the Linux kernel offers a wide variety of ways to acquire this data, such as ftrace and eBPF, adding confusion to how they all come together. This presentation aims to provide a clear overview of the different data sources, interfaces, and frontends for collecting and analyzing event data with a particular focus on monitoring application behavior to detect malicious activity.

Paul David is a software engineer with a background in writing performant software for everything from endpoint protection software to signal processing applications for software-defined radio.

The in person meeting and online meeting spaces will open at 13:00 on Saturday so that people will have time to connect and work out any technical issues.

The meeting will start at 14:00.

DC404 meets in person at Manuel’s Tavern in either the First Level room or The Eagle’s Nest. Free parking is behind Manuel’s and across North Highland, next to the laundromat.
