DC414 will be going virtual for our meetings due to safety concerns for members and our communities. Please spread the word to your friends! Do not show up to the physical meet spot!
This meeting will be hosted on dc414.org infrastructure using Jitsi meet software. It is known that Jitsi works best on Chromium based browsers (Chromium, Brave, Google Chrome).
On the first Friday of every month starting at 7 PM please click on the following link to join us in the DC414 virtual meeting!
Our next meet is happening on Friday! see https://new.dc414.org/meetings/ for location details.
This meeting I will be doing one of the more interesting demos I did a few years back.
did someone say laser microphones? (note to some of the other members… no 5mw or higher lasers please…)
Starting the new year off with MOAR RECAPS. I (Belouve) did not get there at the start, so I will recap what I was told by others. People can fill in details if they want.
SoftEther VPN
We had a demo on SoftEtherVPN(“SoftEther” means “Software Ethernet”). This is a multi-protocol VPN software, that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris.
Also open source, and free. You can go from Open VPN to SoftEtherVPN smoothly. Check out the site for other highlighted features I haven’t listed here.
We’re being hacked by Russia, right? …. Right?
Belouve arrived and set up a talk digging into the details of the recent “Russian” hacking. Pointing to the US-CERT report and the files they sent, only 2 out of the 911 indicators given by US-CERT point to Russia. The reports on APT28 and APT29 cite some vague ‘evidence’.
One of the best things is that an APT29 report (see page 9) references the use of MiniDuke malware as being Russia.
Credit given: the original discover script is made by Lee Baird, as available here. My version has slimmed his down, and I have updated some other steps.
This script is tuned to do as much passive recon on a target as it can, without touching the target and alerting it to its scan.
Uses ARIN, dnsrecon, goofile, goog-mail, goohost, theHarvester, Metasploit, URLCrazy, Whois, PGP Keys, multiple other websites, and then recon-ng.
The recon-ng modules scrape Bing, Google, Hackertarget, Netcraft, Shodan, Threatcrowd, GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn, Whois, and Censys.io for information. It parses and pivots the information gathered from other modules and earlier steps.
Take a look over the tool, it is constantly being tweaked.
Vlad’s LED Tree of LED Glory
Vlad did a demo on his multicolored individually-addressable LED tree. Big tree, and I feel a video would go best here.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BarCampMilwaukee 11
Milwaukee, WI
For the eleventh consecutive year, BarCampMilwaukee is returning the first weekend in October. CESI will host the event. Doors open at 9:00 AM, Saturday October 1st.
A BarCamp is a wholly unique event that provides a free, open-environment forum where the participants are in charge of what happens. It is an interactive conversation where professionals and curious alike come to learn, teach, and imagine. This revolutionary “unconference” allows participants to float from one session to another, and encourages the development of interesting ideas and spontaneous discussion. Since the first BarCamp in the US eleven years ago, hundreds of BarCamps have been organized throughout the world.
Throughout BarCampMilwaukee’s eleventh year run, participants have been involved in a wide array of session topics ranging from:
Software Development: Ruby on Rails, Drupal, and JavaScript.
Technologies: 3d printing/scanning, video editing, robots, and solutions for non-profits.
Solutions for small businesses and non-profits.
All the way to things like Zombie Defense Preparation, lockpicking, sushi making, and many other topics for makers, DIYers, artists and other creatives.
Barcamp is a program of The School Factory, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that builds value-creating communities and spaces to transform education, economy, and talent.
When: Doors open Saturday, October 1st at 9:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM October 2nd
BarCampMilwaukee will offer over night sleeping so please break your sleeping bags.
